In addition to completing dental school, endodontists must undergo at least two years of specialist training. This knowledge allows them sometimes to preserve teeth that they would have otherwise lost.</p>
<p>Altogether, endodontists complete six to seven years of postgraduate schooling. Their specialist training focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the dental pulp. This also makes them extraordinarily proficient in pain management and utilizing cutting-edge technologies in their practice.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Although all endodontists must finish dental school, not all dentists must train in endodontics. Thus, while all endodontists are dentists, very few dentists are endodontists. By focusing their expertise on the tooth’s interior, endodontists are typically more experienced in root canal treatments than dentists.</p>
<p>The average endodontist performs 25 root canal treatments per week — a far cry from the average dentist’s two. Furthermore, since endodontists dedicate themselves to diagnosing and treating tooth pain, they also tend to be more skilled in treating difficult-to-diagnose oral and facial pain issues.</p>

<p>"Endo" is Greek for "inside," while "odont" is Greek for "tooth." As such, endodontic treatments are <a title="Read more about Endodontics" href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/e/endodontics" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-What-is-an-Endodontist">any treatments that involve the inside of the tooth</a>. The interior of the tooth is also known as the tooth’s pulp. Accordingly, endodontists are specialists in saving teeth. Some standard endodontic services involve root canal treatment and endodontic retreatment.</p>
<p>Root canal treatment is a relatively simple procedure that relieves dental pain and saves the tooth. This treatment is necessary to remove any inflammation or infection in the pulp. If this first procedure fails or the tooth becomes reinfected, then endodontic retreatment is possible. During this process, the endodontist must reopen the tooth to clean and fill the canals with a temporary filling.</p>

These procedures are often necessary after an initial root canal treatment. Root canal treatments are also not always suitable for every patient. Endodontic surgery and dental implant placement can preserve a tooth for a lifetime.</p>
<p>Occasionally, patients may have small fractures or hidden canals that go undetected by X-rays during an initial root canal treatment. Endodontic surgery can locate these fractures or canals, remove any calcium deposits, and treat any damaged surfaces. If all these measures are inadequate, tooth extraction may be necessary. In such cases, dental implants are the premier tooth replacement option, as they look and function like natural teeth.</p>

<p>Many patients make the mistake of fearing the endodontist. In reality, it is critical to address tooth pain as soon as possible. Early intervention maximizes the chances of saving one’s tooth. In many cases, an endodontist can resolve a patient’s tooth pain in one appointment.</p>
<p>Individuals should seek out medical attention if they are experiencing tooth pain or have any temperature sensitivity. More severe cases may include incidents that have led to facial trauma or swelling around the face, gums, or teeth. Patients may worsen their situation by delaying treatment.</p>

<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Are root canal treatments painful?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It is a common misconception that root canal treatments are painful. Thanks to modern technology and anesthetics, the procedure is typically not much more uncomfortable than a cavity filling. Our team will answer all questions and concerns before treatment to help quell dental anxiety.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can a root canal treatment treat a cracked tooth?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It varies on a case-by-case basis. Typically, root canal treatments are reserved for more severely cracked teeth. Other treatment options for more minor cases include bonding, crowns, glue, and fillings.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">My tooth is not bothering me. Do I still need root canal treatment?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Not all teeth that require root canal treatment will have noticeable symptoms. Infections can be painless, leading affected individuals to believe that they have gone away. Often, routine radiographs and clinical examinations are the only way to ensure whether an infection is present.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What happens after root canal treatment?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">The endodontist will send a copy of your X-rays and a record of your treatment to your restorative dentist, if applicable. You will need to return to the endodontist’s office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of the treatment. You and your dentist can discuss which restorative option is best for you.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Why is tooth extraction typically the last option?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option. Though dental implants are generally safe and reliable, they do not have as high of a success rate as a root canal treatment. This is because the natural teeth are already implanted into the jaw.</span></p>
