A member asked:

How is better for a molar root canal- a general dentist or an endodontist?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Both are qualified : To do them. An endodontist is a specialist who has completed two additional years of schooling for root canals. Root canals can often be very difficult to treat. Undoubtedly the fee charged by an endodontist is higher than that of a gp. If your dentist is comfortable with molar endo and you are comfortable with your dentists capabilities, then i'm sure he will do a good job for you. Hope this.

Endodontist : Endodontist has specialized in root canals. They have the education and training to handle all aspects of root canal treatment. Many general dentists will do root canals but especially for the back teeth, molars, that are more complex it is better to go to the expert in the field.

Microscopic Endo: Root canals are not just canals, but root canal systems. They are anatomically complex! a microscopically trained endodontist understands these complexities best and is always your best choice.
