Endodontist

A dental specialist who has completed dental school plus an additional 2-3 years of advanced training specifically in diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal treatments.

Why It Matters

While general dentists can perform root canals, Endodontists limit their practice only to these procedures. They use advanced technology like operating microscopes to treat complex cases (e.g., curved roots or calcified canals) with higher success rates.
