Endodontics

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, producing minimal pain.
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 if you experience
any of the symptoms above, and we will refer you to an
endodontic specialist.
