What is endodontics?

What is an endodontist?
Endodontists are often referred to as “specialists in saving teeth” due to their expertise in treating and preserving diseased teeth. After completing dental school, they undergo an additional two or more years of training that equips them with specialized knowledge in diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal treatments and other procedures focused on the interior of the tooth.
While many general dentists are capable of performing root canals, endodontists have the advanced training, experience and specialized tools that allow them to deliver more precise and efficient treatment.
