Endodontics is the study and treatment of diseases of the insides of teeth (pulp) and surrounding tissue. Root canal treatment, a routine endodontic procedure, involves the removal of remnants of the dental pulp, cleaning and shaping the dental canal, and filling the root canal.

Comprehensive treatment is provided by our staff endodontists for children and adolescents experiencing dental trauma or extensive decay. Patients with medical, mental, or physical challenges to routine outpatient care are welcome.
