American Association of Endodontists

Endodontists are dentists with at least two additional years of advanced specialty education in the diagnosis and treatment of root canals.

Because they limit their practices to endodontics, they treat these types of problems every day. They use their special training and experience in treating difficult cases, such as teeth with narrow or blocked canals, or unusual anatomy.

Endodontists may use advanced technology, such as operating microscopes, ultrasonics and digital imaging, to perform these special services.
