Why should I see an Endodontist?
An endodontist is a dentist who trained in a two to three year specialty program after their general dental training. With this training, an endodontic specialist is very well qualified in the areas of diagnosis of root canal problems, determining whether the source of pain is tooth related, and rendering endodontic treatment whether it is nonsurgical or surgical in nature. Your dentist may do some of their own root canals, however root canals can be deceptively complex and warrant the skills of a specialist.
