Root Canal Therapy: Performing root canal treatments, which involve the removal of infected or damaged dental pulp and the cleaning, disinfection, and sealing of the tooth's root canals to save the natural tooth.
Retreatment: If a previous root canal treatment has failed or complications have arisen, endodontists may perform retreatment procedures to address any remaining issues.
Apicoectomy: In cases where a root canal treatment isn't sufficient, endodontists can perform surgical procedures, like apicoectomy, which involves removing the tip of a tooth's root to treat persistent infections.
Emergency Care: Providing emergency dental care to alleviate severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection related to dental pulp or root canal issues.
Trauma Management: Treating dental trauma, such as fractured or dislodged teeth, that can affect the dental pulp and root canals.

Specialization: To become an endodontist, dentists must complete an additional two to three years of postgraduate education in an accredited endodontic residency program.

Skills and Traits: Effective endodontists should possess good manual dexterity, attention to detail, excellent diagnostic skills, and the ability to communicate well with patients.
