Why visit an endodontist?
Just as your medical doctor may refer you to a specialist, your dentist may also refer you to an endodontist for a root canal procedure. Endodontists are dentists specially trained to treat infections and pain related to the root canal system of a tooth.
Endodontists require at least 2 years of post-doctoral education that not only produces clinicians proficient in endodontic procedures, but also provides a deep biological understanding of how to treat and prevent endodontic disease. With this knowledge, endodontists are capable of providing excellent treatment with a high standard of care.
