ENDODONTICS PROCEDURES
Endodontists perform multiple procedures:
-
Root canal: Removes damaged or infected tooth pulp and reseals the tooth to prevent reinfection.
-
Endodontic retreatment: Removes and replaces materials from a previous root canal that didn’t heal properly.
-
Endodontic surgery: Specialized surgery, such as apicoectomy (removal of the end, or tip, of a tooth’s root).
-
Emergency dental surgery: May involve repairing complex dental injuries or treating severe tooth infections.
-
Tooth extraction (removal) surgery: Pulling a tooth because there’s too much tissue damage for a provider to save it.
-
Dental implant surgery: Surgical placement of a dental implant. A provider can use the implant to support prosthetics, such as bridges, and to restore the look and function of your teeth after you have a tooth removed.
All endodontists are also dentists, which means they may perform the same procedures common in general dentistry, including cleanings, whitenings, veneers, crowns and others.
TESTS AND DIAGNOSIS
Endodontists have specialized training to diagnose many complex causes of tooth, mouth (oral) and facial pain. An endodontist may check your symptoms by performing one or more tests:
- Dental X-rays:
Capture clear details of tooth structures.
- Hot or cold swabs:
Test your tooth’s sensitivity when it comes into contact with different temperatures.
- Tapping on teeth:
May provide clues to what tooth has inflammation and how far the inflammation has spread, especially if your teeth are sensitive to the tapping.

Commonly Asked Questions
Why would I need a root canal?
Endodontic treatment (root canal) is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
What are the signs of needing a root canal?
Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling, drainage and tenderness in the lymph nodes as well as nearby bone and gingival tissues. Sometimes, however, there are no symptoms.
Can all teeth be treated endodontically?
Most teeth can be treated. Occasionally, a tooth can’t be saved because the root canals are not accessible, the root is severely fractured, the tooth doesn’t have adequate bone support, or the tooth cannot be restored. However, advances in endodontics are making it possible to save teeth that even a few years ago would have been lost. When endodontic treatment is not effective, endodontic surgery may be able to save the tooth.
