The process of repairing a mortar joint is called tuckpointing. This term is derived because you are tucking mortar into the damaged mortar joint with the point of a trowel called a “pointing trowel”

Mortar Joints
Cracking
Masonry can deform elastically over long periods of time to accommodate small amounts of movement, large movements normally cause cracking. Cracks can appear along mortar joints or through the masonry units. Cracking can result from a variety of issues; the settlement of foundations, shrinkage, expansion, and contraction due to weather (freezing/thawing), moisture variations, the corrosion of lintels, movement between building materials, and the bulging or leaning of walls just to list a few.
Deteriorating Brick Work
Once the source of the cracks has been determined, the next step is to repair it. Structural repairs precede minor or cosmetic repairs. Repointing mortar joints is often required, however, this action requires care and is best done with professionals familiar with various masonry techniques. Care must be taken to match properties up (color, hardness, permeability) of the existing mortar. The application must also be carefully controlled; width of joints and tooling should match the existing appearance as best as possible this also includes the cleanup process as well to ensure that mortar does not extend past the joints and onto the surface of the bricks.
