Endodontist Near Me

We’ll help you find an endodontist near you.

What is an endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental specialist who specializes in treating
infections of the pulp and root of your tooth. The top part of your
tooth is the crown and the lower part is the root. The crown can be seen
when you look in the mirror but the root is not visible. The root
contains nerves, blood vessels, and tissue. An endodontist is trained to
handle the root and performs corrective procedures to save the
tooth.

What does an endodontist do?

An endodontist usually uses a dental X-ray to see images of your
tooth structure for diagnosis of the problem. Once the problem is
identified, the endodontist will do any of these procedures below:

Root canal treatment – A root canal is a
procedure that removes infected pulp tissue.

Endodontic retreatment – Though root canal
procedures rarely fail, endodontic retreatment is a procedure done after
any failure of a root canal procedure.

Apicoectomy – Apicoectomy is a dental
surgery provided to remove inflamed gum tissue from the apex of your
tooth.

Tooth extraction – Tooth extraction
involving the molars is best handled by an endodontist.

Dental implant surgery – The endodontist
places the implant support before the crown is placed.

Signs you need to see an endodontist

The most obvious sign that you need to see an endodontist near you is
