What’s a root canal specialist?

A root canal specialist also known as an endodontist is a dentist who
has specialized in treating all tooth-related problems including those
inside your tooth.

At the center of your tooth is a pulp that contains blood vessels,
nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp gets infected your
endodontist is the right person to treat the infection before it spreads
further to warrant extraction.

A root canal specialist can save a tooth that is severely damaged by
decay or trauma.

Signs of an infected pulp

If your pulp is infected, you will experience one or all of these
signs:

• Pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food and drink

• Difficulty in biting or chewing

• A loose tooth

What you need to know about root canal
procedures

When you experience pain and visit your dentist, they take X-rays to
try and find the problem. If they notice that your problem is connected
to the root, they’ll refer you to a root canal specialist.

A root canal specialist will use different methods to evaluate you.
If a root canal procedure is required, they’ll discuss what you should
expect.

In summary, during the procedure, your root canal specialist will
remove the infected tissue from your pulp and thoroughly clean the area
to then fill and seal it using a rubber-like filling material. Usually,
after you start healing, a dental crown is placed to protect the tooth
from future infection.

If you have severe or ongoing tooth pain, call our root canal
specialists to discuss your concerns.
