Endodontist

Advancing technologies leads to specialization and super specialization. One such specialization of Dentistry if the field of Endodontics.

Originating from the latin word “ENDO” which means inside and “ODONT” which means the tooth, the science of Endodontics is the study of the problems inside the tooth and an ENDODONTIST is the specialist who treats the inside of the tooth. The outermost layer of a tooth is the Enamel which covers the Dentine. In the core of the tooth is the pulp which has blood vessels supplying nutrients to the tooth and a nerve which provides the sensations. These enter the tooth from the apex of the root and curve up to the pulp chamber which is literally in the centre of the crown.
