That can involve emergency dental surgery to treat a severe tooth infection or a mouth injury. The most common procedure for an endodontist is a root canal where the surgeon removes infected pulp from the tooth root.
Other procedures include a retreatment to help address problems from a previous root canal, tooth extraction, and apicoectomy which is the removal of a tooth root. They can also place a dental implant.
There is a shade of difference between a dentist and an endodontist. All endodontists are also dentists, as they first started training in general dentistry before going into the specialty.
All dentists are not endodontists, although many do some of the same procedures like tooth extractions and root canals. Endodontists take on a minimum of two more years of specialized dental training after completing dental school.
