Endodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the dental pulp inside of a tooth. Within the dental pulp are the tooth nerves. When a tooth is compromised, the inside can be susceptible to decay. An endodontist treats the inside of the tooth in order to save the tooth structure.

Orthodontics is not just straightening your smile for cosmetic reasons and it is not a "do it yourself " service. While beautifully aligned teeth can certainly boost your confidence, a straight smile is also a healthy one! When your teeth are crowded, it's harder to keep them clean, which leads to a buildup of bacteria, cavities, and gum disease, which, if allowed to progress can cause the bones that support your teeth to weaken leading to teeth becoming loose and eventually falling out. A bad bite and improperly aligned jaws can also make it harder to enjoy your favorite foods, and increase jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction. Narrow jaws can also negatively affect your airway, potentially leading to snoring, difficulty breathing, obstructive sleep apnea, and other airway obstructions.
