Endodontics plays a pivotal role in preserving natural teeth by addressing issues related to the dental pulp and root canals. Often referred to as the "tooth-saving" specialty, it involves procedures like root canal therapy to treat deep decay, cracks, or infections that could otherwise necessitate tooth extraction. With advancements in microsurgical techniques and enhanced imaging tools, endodontists can provide more accurate diagnoses and minimally invasive treatments. Pain management during procedures has also improved, making endodontic care more patient-friendly. By maintaining the integrity of natural teeth and supporting surrounding tissues, endodontics contributes to better oral function, aesthetics, and overall dental health, reinforcing the importance of early intervention and specialized care.
