An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on treating the pulp and root canal system of a tooth. They perform procedures like root canals and apicoectomies to save infected or damaged teeth, preserving natural teeth rather than extracting them.

Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure in South Africa for treating infected or inflamed tooth pulp. The treatment involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material.
South African dentists use advanced technology like digital X-rays and rotary endodontic instruments to ensure precise treatment. Waiting time for an appointment is typically 1-2 weeks.
