A “specialist endodontist” (or “root canal specialist”) is a dentist with additional training in diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth — the root canal system, the pulp, and the tissues around the root. When a standard dentist finds that a tooth’s nerve or pulp is severely infected or damaged, they often refer to a specialist because of the added complexity.
