Endodontics is a branch of dentistry. It concerns the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth. "Endo" is the Greek word for "inside" and "odont" is the Greek word for "tooth."

Endodontic treatment, or root canal treatment, treats soft pulp tissue with inside of the tooth. And an endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth.

Endodontists become specialists by completing 3 years or more of advanced endodontic training after dental school or college. They perform routine endodontic procedures, as well as difficult and very complex procedures.

In addition, endodontists also do root canal treatments and endodontic surgeries. And most importantly, they perform special procedures to save teeth after traumatic dental injuries.

Focusing their practice on specific procedures such as root canal treatment, surgery and trauma, endodontists are experts in the effective management of a wide range of complex endodontic problems. The advanced technologies and specialized techniques used by endodontists give them a very precise view of the inside of the tooth and allow them to treat the tooth quickly and comfortably.

Saving your tooth, an endodontist can help you maintain your natural smile, so you can continue to eat your favorite foods and maintain your overall health. Nothing looks or works like your natural tooth.
