Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerning dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. “Endo” is the Greek word for “inside” and “odont” is Greek for “tooth.” Endodontic treatment, or root canal treatment, treats the soft pulp tissue inside the tooth.

Surgical endodontics is the other with which endodontists are trained to treat.
In a surgical endodontic case, the infection has spread beyond the confines of the root canal system. It has now spread to the bone and the soft tissue around the tooth. This patient presents with a severe swelling and is in quite a bit of distress.

                       

We make sure the patient is completely anesthetized in every way, the root area especially.
