Who can perform a root canal treatment?

Although all dentists carry out root canal work, if your tooth provides a particular challenge then you may be referred to an endodontist. This may also be the case for a root canal procedure on a tooth that you have had the same problem with before. An endodontist is a dentist with specialist status after extensive training in treatment of the dental pulp. You can get a referral to see an endodontist from a general dentist.
