When receiving a root canal or other endodontic treatment, it is important that you find the right doctor for your needs. While many general dentists can perform root canals, only a specialist can provide you with the quality of care you need to ensure excellent results and improve your oral health.
An endodontist is a dentist who has completed several years of advanced training following dental school to specialize in treating tooth roots and related issues. Choosing an endodontist to provide your root canal has many benefits, including:
- Experience – an endodontist performs nearly 25 root canals per week on average, as opposed to general dentists, who perform two or less root canals each week.
- Efficiency – because an endodontist only offers endodontic treatment, they are efficient and precise when performing your procedure. This increases your comfort and helps you have a smoother experience both during your procedure and when you are recovering.
- Availability – Most endodontists are flexible when accommodating emergency cases. Delays in treatment are minimized and you can receive care and have your discomfort alleviated more quickly.
- Advanced technology – Many endodontists (including Laser Endodontic Care LLC) use state-of-the-art technology when providing treatment. This ensures quick, comfortable, precise and effective care.
