Endodontics is that part of the dental practice that takes care of the treatment and prevention of dental pulp injuries, along with associated peri-radicular conditions, helping maintain your natural smile.
Many tooth problems involve infections that spread to the pulp, which is the inner chamber of the tooth containing blood vessels, nerves and other tissues. When the infection becomes worse, it can begin affecting the roots.
Gingival retreat (or otherwise known as gum recession) appears when the gum tissue starts recessing due to persistent inflammation, letting the roots of the teeth exposed to external factors.
