*ROOT CANALS*
WHY YOU NEED AND ENDODONTIST
Endodontists are dentists who specialize in endodontics. After they complete dental school, they attend an advanced dental school program for two or three more years. They study only about root canal treatment and learn advanced techniques. You receive all the benefits of this extensive training.
Endodontists are specialists. In their offices, they perform only endodontic (root canal) procedures, both routine and complex. They are also experienced at finding the cause of oral and facial pain that is difficult to diagnose.
Endodontists' advanced surgical and nonsurgical skills make them uniquely qualified to treat routine as well as complex cases, such as extreme pain, the medically compromised patient, oral trauma, and the perplexing anatomic problems of tooth curvature and calcification.
Members of the American Association of Endodontists uphold an ethics and professional conduct code that puts the highest quality patient care at the forefront of their practices.
Members are specialists. They are dentists who have limited their practices to "endodontics," one of the eight specialty areas of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association.
Endodontists also attend continuing education courses after they are in practice, so they are knowledgeable about state-of-the-art research, clinical procedures, and technology. That's why most people report that having a root canal today is as unremarkable as having a cavity filled.
