Endodontic treatment (also called endodontic therapy or root canal therapy) is performed in order to remove the infected or inflamed tissue from a tooth to prevent further tooth decay. It often means the difference between saving and losing your tooth.

Temperature in your mouth changes. Many times you won't be able to see a cracked tooth with the naked eye. This is why your general dentist is important, because they will be able to find problems before they become painful. Poor hygiene and cavities can also weaken your teeth and make them more susceptible to being chipped or cracked. It's so important to schedule regular appointments with your dentist.
