An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries related to the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. They have additional training in root canal procedures and are experts in preserving natural teeth.
You might need a root canal if you have a tooth that is severely decayed, infected, or has experienced trauma. This treatment can save your tooth from extraction and alleviate pain.
Root canal treatment is often associated with discomfort, but advances in dental technology and anesthetics have made the procedure more comfortable than many patients expect. Most report that the pain is comparable to getting a filling.
Typically, root canal treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case and how many roots the affected tooth has.
Post-treatment, it's normal to experience some tenderness or sensitivity in the affected area for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort. Your dentist will provide specific after-care instructions.
