What is endodontics?

According to the American Association of Endodontists, endodontists are specialists in saving teeth, committed to helping you maintain your natural smile for a lifetime. Endodontists have at least two years of additional education after dental school to become experts in performing root canal treatment and diagnosing and treating tooth pain.
