Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontists
What Is an Endodontist?
An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and treating conditions involving the dental pulp and tooth roots. After completing dental school, endodontists undergo two additional years of specialized training to develop expertise in complex root canal procedures and other treatments aimed at preserving natural teeth.
Endodontists commonly perform root canals, root canal retreatments, apicoectomies, and treatment for cracked or traumatically injured teeth. At Midtown Endodontist NYC, our specialists use advanced technology, including high-powered dental microscopes, to diagnose and treat problems that affect the inside of the tooth.
What’s the Difference Between an Endodontist and a Dentist?
The primary difference between an endodontist and a general dentist is their area of expertise. General dentists provide a broad range of dental services, including routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and preventive care. Endodontists specialize in diagnosing and treating problems involving the tooth’s pulp, nerves, and roots.
While general dentists may perform root canals, endodontists complete additional specialized training and perform these procedures more frequently. They also use advanced equipment, such as dental microscopes, to help identify difficult-to-see canals and treat complex cases.
General dentists and endodontists often work together. Your dentist may refer you to an endodontist if you have severe tooth pain, an infected tooth, or a complicated root canal case. You can also contact an endodontist directly without a referral.
What’s the Difference Between an Endodontist and a Periodontist?
The main difference between an endodontist and a periodontist is the part of the mouth each specialist treats. Endodontists focus on the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and roots, while periodontists specialize in conditions affecting the gums and supporting bone.
Periodontists treat gum disease, inflammation, and bone-related issues. Their procedures may include deep gum cleaning, gum and bone grafting, and dental implant treatment. Endodontists, on the other hand, perform procedures such as root canals and root canal retreatments to address infection or damage within a tooth.
If your dental concern involves infected tooth pulp or persistent pain originating inside the tooth, an endodontist may be the appropriate specialist. If the problem involves gum disease or supporting bone structures, periodontal care may be needed.
What’s the Difference Between an Endodontist and an Oral Surgeon?
Both endodontists and oral surgeons perform specialized dental procedures, but their treatment goals and areas of expertise differ. Endodontists primarily focus on saving natural teeth by treating infections and damage affecting the tooth’s interior and roots. Oral surgeons perform a broader range of surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, and face.
An endodontist may perform root canal therapy or an apicoectomy, a surgical procedure that removes infected tissue and the affected tip of a tooth’s root. These procedures are designed to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
Oral surgeons typically handle more extensive surgical procedures, including tooth extractions, certain jaw and facial surgeries, and reconstruction of damaged bone or soft tissue. While an endodontist focuses on treating and preserving a damaged tooth, an oral surgeon may remove or replace teeth that can no longer function.
Is There an Endodontist Open on Saturday & Sunday in NYC?
Yes! Midtown Endodontist NYC is open on both Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, providing convenient weekend appointments for patients who need specialized dental care.

Do I Need a Referral to See an Endodontist?
No, you generally do not need a referral to schedule an appointment with an endodontist. If you are experiencing persistent tooth pain, have a cracked tooth, or suspect a tooth infection, you can contact Midtown Endodontist NYC directly.
Our Midtown Manhattan office offers appointments for urgent endodontic concerns, including same-day availability for certain dental emergencies. Early evaluation can help determine whether root canal treatment or another endodontic procedure is appropriate.
