Endodontist

An endodontist is a dental specialist focused on the health of the dental pulp and root canals. They are experts in diagnosing and treating complex tooth pain, infections, and issues arising from inflamed or damaged pulp. Common symptoms that may require endodontic care include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, and abscesses. Endodontic treatments, such as root canal therapy, help preserve natural teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted due to decay or trauma.
