Root Canal Specialist Near Me

Are you looking for a root canal specialist near you? We’ll tell you
what root canal specialists do and how to find one in our clinic.

Root canal specialists eliminate bacteria from an infected root canal
system to save your tooth from extraction. They deal with the inside
part of your tooth known as the pulp. Your pulp holds nerves, blood
vessels, and connective tissues making the area very sensitive.

Why would you look for a root canal specialist near
you?

You are probably looking for a root canal specialist because you have
a tooth infection. Here are more signs that you need a root canal
specialist:

• Cracked tooth

• Deep cavity

• Damaged filling

• Pain when chewing

• Sensitivity to hot/cold drinks

• Swollen gums

• Pimple or abscess on the gum

The root canal procedure

A root canal specialist will treat a tooth that has been damaged by
decay, trauma, or broken filling. Technology has continued to make the
procedure easier and shorter. In one or two appointments you may be done
with treatment.

During treatment, your endodontist (the root canal specialist) will
access the root of your tooth and remove infected pulp tissue. The area
is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed using filling
material.

For the tooth to continue to function normally, a crown will be
placed on the outer part to complete the structure of your tooth.

Root canal specialists use anesthesia to ensure the patient remains
comfortable throughout the procedure.

If your dentist or endodontist has recommended a root canal procedure
to treat your infected tooth, don’t worry. The procedure is a little
invasive and causes you mild discomfort for a few days but it will
correct your bite, stop your pain and give you a natural appearance.
Plus, it saves your natural tooth!
