Endodontic Care FAQs
What does an endodontist treat?
An endodontist diagnoses and treats problems inside the tooth, including inflammation or infection in the pulp. Common care includes root canal treatment, with recommendations based on an examination and the condition of the tooth.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness when chewing, or swelling can warrant an evaluation. These symptoms have several possible causes, so an exam is needed to determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate.
Is root canal treatment painful?
The purpose of treatment is to address the source of pain. Local anesthesia is commonly used, and your clinician can explain what to expect based on your condition. Contact the office with concerns before or after treatment.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Treatment time varies with the tooth, its anatomy, and the complexity of the problem. The clinician can give you a more useful estimate after examining the tooth and deciding on a treatment plan.
What should I do after a root canal?
Follow the care instructions provided by the clinic and arrange any recommended follow-up restoration with your general dentist. Call the office if pain worsens, swelling develops, or you have questions about recovery.
