Root Canal Specialist Near Me

Are you wondering whether you need a root canal specialist to solve
your toothache? We’ll help you find a root canal specialist.

Root canal specialists help you treat severe toothache by removing
bacteria from an infected root canal to save your tooth from extraction.
A root canal specialist also known as an endodontist is specially
trained to treat the inside part of your tooth known as the pulp. The
pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues that enable
your tooth to function. If the pulp is inflamed, you will experience
pain, difficulty chewing, and general mouth discomfort.

You should find a root canal specialist near you if you have
any of the following:

• Pain when chewing

• Swollen gums

• Abscess (pus formation around the tooth area)

• A cracked or fractured tooth

• Tooth decay or cavities

• Damaged filling

• Sensitivity to hot/cold drinks

What is a root canal procedure like?

During a root canal procedure, your endodontist (the root canal
specialist) will remove the inflamed pulp and thoroughly clean the area
using dental tools. The area is then disinfected, filled, and sealed
with a rubber-like filling material.

The tooth will then receive a restorative and protective crown to
restore its functionality.

Do I really need a root canal specialist and not a regular
dentist?

Here are a few indicators that you require a root canal specialist
over a regular dentist.

• If you have severe and ongoing pain in your tooth that can’t
  easily be explained, it could mean that the problem is underneath your
  gums.

• If you have a visible crack but don’t know how deep it is, you
  need an endodontist.

• If your gums are swollen and tender, it may be a sign of pulp
  infection. Sometimes the swelling is visible around the face or neck
  area.

• Also, extreme tooth sensitivity is an indicator that something is
  wrong in the root area of your teeth.
