Endodontists Are Your Best Choice For Root Canal Therapy
- Endodontists have extra training. After four years of dental school, endodontists complete an additional two years training, including practicing skills in a residency program, to receive their clinical certificate in endodontic dental medicine.
- Endodontists have access to and experience with the latest technologies. Part of endodontic training focuses on using 3-D imaging technology, digital radiographs, dental operating microscopes, lasers, ultrasonics, and other tools that make cleaning the tiny canals inside the root canal system easier.
- Endodontists have more experience performing root canals. Of the general dentists who perform root canals, they average about two root canals per week. Endodontists perform an average of 25-35 root canals per week. Many of the root canals treated by endodontists are already unusual, complex or challenging cases.
- Endodontists have other treatment options to preserve your natural teeth. If your root canal treatment is ultimately unsuccessful, an endodontist can provide a retreatment or an apicoectomy (treating the canals from the root-side of the tooth) to save the tooth.
- Endodontists are specialists in pain management. Before, during, and after the root canal, your endodontist can provide suggestions and prescribe medication to relieve any minimal discomfort you may experience.
