Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp. “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. Endodontists mainly do root canal treatments, perform various endodontic surgeries, and address traumatic dental injuries when they arise. Some also place dental implants.
