Endodontist

An endodontist is a dental health professional who specializes in treating damaged root canals in teeth.

After dental school, endodontists complete specialized graduate education in endodontic care.

Endodontists are licensed by the province in which they practice and are certified by the Royal College of Dentists of Canada after passing a review and exam.
