The specialty
What does a conservative dentist and endodontist do?
Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics is a recognised dental specialty in India. A dentist qualifies in it through a three-year Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) programme, taken after the five-year BDS degree.
Endodontics
Endodontics deals with the pulp and root canals inside a tooth. It covers finding the cause of tooth pain, treating infected or inflamed teeth with root canal treatment, re-treating root canals that have not healed, and managing teeth that have been injured.
Conservative dentistry
Conservative dentistry repairs teeth damaged by decay, wear or fracture while keeping as much natural tooth as possible. It uses tooth-coloured fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns.
Why it matters to you
When a tooth hurts or a root canal is difficult, specialist training helps. The aim is always to save your own tooth before extraction is considered.

He holds an MDS (Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics). This is a three-year postgraduate specialist degree in dentistry, taken after the BDS degree.
Is an endodontist the same as a root canal specialist?
Yes. An endodontist is a dentist with specialist training in root canal treatment and in finding and treating the cause of tooth pain. In India this training is part of the MDS in Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.
Can a tooth be saved after a failed root canal?
Often, yes. A root canal that has not healed can usually be re-treated by cleaning and sealing the canals again. Whether it is possible for your tooth depends on an examination and X-ray.
