About Endodontic Office
"Endodontic" is a medical term that comes from the Greek word "endo" (inside) and "odons" (tooth). It is a specialised field of dentistry that deals with procedures involving the tooth pulp (a tissue containing nerves, blood vessels arterioles and fibrous tissue within the tooth). The tooth pulp can become diseased or injured due to decay and trauma. This will eventually result in pain and infection and deteroration of the tissues surrounding the root. Root canal therapy (also known as endodontic therapy) will then be required to removed this disease state.
