Conservative dentistry and Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. It is concerned with preventing the loss of tooth structure, and getting teeth to good form and function with the help of direct or indirect restorative (filling) procedures, and root canal treatment when indicated.

Endodontists are highly skilled dental specialists who undergo three years of specialized education after undergraduate dentistry. They perform routine as well as difficult and very complex endodontic procedures, including root canal treatment, endodontic surgery and special procedures to save teeth after traumatic dental injuries. They have good precision and hand-eye coordination, making them highly skilled in performing such treatment. By saving teeth, an endodontist can help you keep your natural smile, so you can continue to eat your favorite foods and maintain your overall health.
