What is an Endodotist?

The inside of the mouth and soft tissue around the teeth are cared for by a special dentist call the endodontist. If a regular dentist is not able to treat a particular tooth, they will refer the patient to an endodontist who specializes in pinpointing pain and navigating the intricate network of nerves in the mouth.

Symptoms and Treatment?

In order to treat the painful tooth, an endodontist will sometimes need to perform a rootcanal (root canal?? – GHC). Replanting teeth is another specialty that falls under the endodontist in treating painful teeth issues. Many times, the dental tissue is damaged due to trauma and the endodontist will have to treat the tissue with endodontic therapy in order to save the cracked tooth.
