In other areas of medicine, professional specializations are nothing new. Whenever necessary, your family doctor will refer you to a cardiologist, neurologist, ophthalmologist or other medical specialist – experts in their particular fields who will provide you with the best possible specialized diagnostics and care.
Even in dental medicine, there are a number of familiar specializations: Orthodontists provide treatment for malpositioned teeth. Pediatric dentists offer specialized dental care for children. Oral surgeons will perform all kinds of surgical procedures involving the oral cavity. Root canal procedures, in contrast, are still performed routinely by general dentists.
However, there has been accelerating progress in the field of endodontics, and a new professional specialization is evolving in parallel: Endontists are experts for root canal treatments (and root tip resections, too, if necessary) – we are here to provide you with the most state-of-the-art specialized care in the field.
