Endodontists are dental professionals who specialize in the preservation of teeth. In addition to completing dental school, endodontists undergo advanced education focused in the field of endodontics. This specialized training in root canal techniques and procedures facilitates the accurate diagnosis and treatment of the most challenging cases. For this reason, many general dentists choose to refer their patients to endodontists for root canal therapy. This ensures that their patients receive the highest level of specialized care to preserve their natural teeth.
