Endodontologist

/ˌɛndoʊdɑnˈtɑlədʒɪst/ noun

Definition

A dental specialist who focuses on diseases and treatments of the tooth pulp and root systems, similar to an endodontist.

Etymology

From 'endodont-' (tooth interior) plus '-ologist' (one who studies), following the pattern of scientific specialization terms. This is a more formally technical term than 'endodontist.'

Kelly Says

An endodontologist might spend decades studying one tiny structure—the root canal system has hidden branches that dentists can only see with advanced 3D imaging technology!
