What is an endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental professional who specializes in dental
problems involving the inside of your tooth. The most common procedures
done by an endodontist are root canal procedures and other surgeries
that involve the pulp or root of your tooth. They treat decay,
infection, and trauma below the gum line.

Why would I need an endodontist near me?

If you have tooth sensitivity, chewing problems, or have suffered a
dental injury, you need an endodontist. An endodontist provides the
following treatments:

Root canal treatment – A root canal
procedure is a treatment performed on an infected pulp. It is usually
done to save a tooth.

Endodontic retreatment – This is a
procedure done after the failure of a root canal procedure. A root canal
may fail because of a lack of proper sterilization of instruments,
misinterpretation of radiographs, or for other reasons.

Apicoectomy – Also referred to as a
root-end resection, is a procedure done to remove inflamed gum tissue
from the apex of your tooth.

Dislodged tooth treatment – This involves
putting back a tooth that has pushed further in or out of its original
socket.

Treatment for dental injuries – Any dental
injuries need to be evaluated by a dentist but if the damage affected
the pulp and root, your dentist will refer you to an endodontist near
you.
