Yesterday, i had a tooth root that was cracked. it was not extracted, was surgically cut and saved by an endodontist. is this commonly done by them?

Heroic Endodontics: Good day; Thank goodness you didn't require the tooth to be extracted. Some endodontists would refer the patient to an oral surgeon.

Some do it: It all depends on their skill comfort.

GP consult: Yes, it is always better to save the tooth if possible. Speak to your general dentist about the treatment plan to restore the tooth.
