Although many family dentists may perform root canal procedures, your dentist feels that your case requires the attention of a endodontic specialist. Endodontists are dentists who have undertaken additional training in root canal treatment and other procedures involving the pulp or the inner tissue of the tooth. They are experienced in treating complicated cases, diagnosing and relieving oral pain and treating traumatic injuries to the teeth. By referring you to a specialist, your family dentist is demonstrating a personal concern for the quality of your dental care. What Is Root Canal Therapy? Root canal therapy (endodontics) is devoted to the elimination of infection or inflammation inside the roots of pulpally involved teeth. The pulp (nerves and blood vessels) may be irreversibly damaged by bacteria associated with decay (past or present), by traumatic blow or by gum disease. Root canal therapy allows you to retain the natural tooth in a healthy state rather than substituting an artificial one. What Is Involved In Root Canal Therapy? Treatment is usually accomplished in one visit. Since endodontics requires a precise and exacting technique, occasionally more than one visit may be necessary.
