An endodontist is a specialized dentist with advanced training in diagnosing and treating tooth pain and performing root canal treatment and other procedures involving the interior of the tooth.
After completing dental school, endodontists undergo an additional two or more years of specialized training focused on managing diseases of the dental pulp (the soft inner tissue of the teeth) and surrounding tissues. Their expertise lies in saving teeth through procedures that maintain or restore health to the tooth's interior.
Although general dentists can perform endodontic treatment, many of them prefer to work with a specialist for that aspect of care due to the many nuances necessary for a successful outcome. With their advanced skills in using state-of-the-art technology such as microscopes, digital imaging, ultrasonics, lasers, and enhanced irrigation devices, endodontists are experts in performing complex root canal treatments, restoring broken down teeth, performing endodontic surgery, and treating dental traumas with precision and care. Their primary goal is to relieve pain and save your natural teeth, ensuring both comfort and long-term oral health.
