There are many benefits to seeing an endodontist. While general dentists are certainly capable of performing certain root canal treatments, endodontists have undergone additional specialty training to specifically diagnose and treat the inner workings of teeth.
They are experts in saving teeth and relieving pain associated with root canal procedures, which can often be more complex than routine dental procedures.
By seeking endodontic help, you can get relief for your pain and still preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
