Endodontics

How Is an Endodontist Different?

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating problems involving the tooth pulp and roots. Root canal treatment is the most common procedure performed by endodontists, but they may also provide other specialized care for infections or injuries affecting the inside of a tooth.

When to See an Endodontist

Dentists often refer patients to an endodontist if a root canal or similar procedure is needed. These specialists receive additional training to perform complex treatments that can help preserve natural teeth. Common symptoms that may indicate a problem with the tooth pulp or roots include:

Persistent or severe tooth pain

Swelling in the gums

Gum sores or ulcers

Tooth damage or injury
