An Endodontic Treatment Specialist, or an endodontist, is a dental professional who focuses on treating the inside of the tooth, specifically the pulp and tissues that surround it. Endodontic treatment, often referred to as a root canal, is essential when the pulp of the tooth becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, injury, or disease. The role of an endodontist is to save the natural tooth by removing the infected or damaged pulp and then sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. This specialized care helps preserve the tooth and restore its function, avoiding the need for extraction. By choosing an endodontist, you are opting for expert care that can significantly extend the life of your tooth and prevent more severe dental problems.
