Endodontists care for patients who have suffered oral trauma, with the goal of saving teeth that have been injured in accidents or sports-related activities. Such injuries may include dislodged, chipped, or knocked-out teeth and root fractures.
As specialists in pain management, endodontists are trained in the internal anatomy of teeth and use this knowledge in a myriad of procedures, ranging from root canals to more advanced surgical procedures involving the root surface.
