Many general dentists perform root canals, especially on front teeth and premolars. Endodontists are root canal specialists with 2–3 extra years of training. They are often recommended for molars with curved or hidden canals, retreatments, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

2 of Hackensack's 29 clinics offering root canals have an endodontist on staff. See endodontists in Hackensack
