If I can give ZERO stars I would. I made an appt for a consultation and was never called on time. I also left work early for this appt. Thankfully I left after approx 1 hour waiting. There must have been 6 patients that was called after me. My appt was for 3:30pm and all the other appts was after mine. What was the issue because it was for a consultation?! I even asked how much longer, is the doctor having issues running behind. All they can say was your next and to wait 5-7 minutes. Well I waited an addtional 10 minutes and left..right after they called someone else name. Ridiculous!! How long would a consultation be?! I wasn't going there for dental work. I even sent my previous xrays.

My son needed 2 impacted molars removed for his braces and Dr Arnold the surgeon had them out in about 15mins. Recovery was really just 2 days and now the 3rd day just some swelling. The office is efficient and doctor very knowledgeable and friendly. Couldn't be happier with their performance.

Endodontists: Your Root Canal Specialist

Endodontists are dental specialists who are trained to diagnose and treat issues related to the inside of teeth, such as the pulp and root canals. However, their expertise extends beyond just root canal treatment. In this article, we will explore the different aspects of endodontic care and why it is essential to seek the help of an endodontist when needed.

What Is An Endodontist?

The name “endodontist” comes from the Greek words “endo,” meaning inside, and “dontic,” meaning tooth. Endodontists are experts in diagnosing and treating dental trauma, which can be caused by various reasons such as accidents, sports injuries, or falls. This type of injury can damage the tooth and its surrounding tissues, leading to pain, sensitivity, and infection. Endodontists are specially trained to handle such cases and provide appropriate treatment to save the tooth.

Why Might I Need An Endodontist?

Apart from saving natural teeth, endodontists are also proficient in performing surgeries related to dental implants. Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and are inserted into the jawbone. Sometimes, the placement of implants requires minor surgery, such as a bone graft or sinus lift, to ensure that the implant has enough support to integrate with the bone. Endodontists have extensive knowledge and experience in this area of dentistry and can perform such procedures with precision.

Experts In Root Canals

Root canal treatment is another common procedure performed by endodontists. It involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is not always a painful or uncomfortable experience. With advancements in technology and anesthesia techniques, many patients report feeling little to no discomfort during the procedure.

What Should You Do if You Need Endodontic Treatment?

If you are experiencing tooth pain or have been referred to an endodontist, it is important to seek timely treatment from a qualified professional. Your dentist may refer you to an endodontist if they believe your case warrants a more specialized practitioner. It is important to note that delaying treatment can lead to further complications and even tooth loss.

During your appointment with an endodontist, they will examine your teeth and diagnose the underlying issue. They may take x-rays to get a better look at the inside of your teeth and determine the extent of the damage. Once the diagnosis is made, they will recommend the appropriate treatment for your specific case.

Endodontists play a crucial role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. With their specialized skills and knowledge, they can save damaged teeth and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether you need root canal treatment, dental implant surgery, or treatment for dental trauma, seeking the help of an endodontist is essential for a successful outcome.
