An endodontist is a specialist in the area of soft tissue inside the tooth. Endodontists, who perform root canals, receive advanced education after graduating from dental school and typically only deal with endodontic-related problems.
A common misconception is that a root canal is a painful procedure. Actually, root canals are similar to having a cavity filled.
Common causes for the need of endodontic treatment:
* Inflamed/infected tooth pulp
* Severe sensitivity to hot and cold elements
* Tooth decay
* Chipped or broken tooth
* Blow to the tooth
* Swelling or tenderness near the infected tooth
* Repeated dental procedures on a tooth
Please contact our office for an evaluation with Dr. Webber, our endodontic specialist.
