Endodontic dental treatment 

Endodontics is the treatment of infection or disease "inside the tooth".

Each tooth consists of two parts - the crown and the root. Only the crown is visible in the mouth. The root is in the bone under the gums. The centre of the crown and root is hollow and is called the pulp chamber, which extends further down the root forming the root canal. If our tooth pulp becomes diseased it is unable to repair itself, the pulp then dies and endodontic dental treatment is required.

Some typical symptoms of endodontic disease include tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, and discoloration of the tooth. However, sometimes there are no symptoms.
