Endodontist

This is a dentist who treats problems that deal with the nerve of the tooth. This specialist may perform simple to difficult root canal treatments, or possibly a surgical root procedure, called an apicoectomy (surgically removing the tip of the root) or a root amputation (removing a root on a multi-rooted tooth).
