Common questions about endodontists
What does an endodontist do?
An endodontist specializes in treating the inside of the tooth — the pulp and root canals. They complete two or more years of advanced training beyond dental school and handle root canal treatment, root canal retreatment, cracked teeth, and dental trauma, often using microscopes and 3D imaging for precision.
When do I need an endodontist instead of my regular dentist?
Your general dentist will usually refer you when a tooth needs a complex root canal — curved or narrow canals, a retreatment of a previous root canal, or persistent pain that’s hard to diagnose. Severe, lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, or swelling near a tooth are all signs the pulp may be infected and worth an endodontic evaluation.
How do I book an endodontist appointment?
Many endodontists accept patients directly for tooth pain — call a practice from the list above, or book online at offices marked "on Intake.Dental." If you have a referral or prior X-rays, offices with Intake can receive your records digitally through your free Patient Passport, so you don’t repeat paperwork or imaging.
