This branch of dentistry is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp (root canal tissue) and adjacent supporting structures. An endodontist has advanced training in determining the source of oral and facial pain and in the treatment of dental traumatic injuries.
Generally, a patient is referred to an endodontist by a family dentist for a diagnosis or for the completion of a specific procedure. After a comprehensive evaluation, your endodontist will determine the diagnosis, discuss treatment alternatives, and discuss which treatment option is recommended.
