Endodontic Disease

Endodontic disease involves infection or inflammation of the pulp inside a tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels. This condition often results from deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma that allows bacteria to reach the pulp. Symptoms can include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling, or abscesses. If untreated, the infection can spread, causing more serious health issues. Treatment typically involves removing the infected tissue through a root canal procedure and sealing the space to prevent future infection. Proper care preserves the tooth and alleviates pain, restoring oral health and function.
