Endodontics FAQs
What is an endodontist?
Alliance Dental Endodontics
An endodontist, commonly referred to as a ‘root canal specialist’, is a dentist who treats inflammation and disease of the tooth pulp, including infections in the jawbone caused by such disease. The pulp consists of blood vessels and nerves that are located inside a tooth; that is, inside the canals which exist within a tooth’s roots. Not many years ago, these teeth were extracted. Today, with modern dental techniques and root canal therapy, most of these teeth can be saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

To understand endodontic treatment, it helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and creates the surrounding hard tissues of the tooth during development. The pulp is important during a tooth’s growth and development. However, once a tooth is fully mature it can survive.
