We've all heard it before: "I'd rather have a root canal 😣."

But here's the thing: the root canal's negative reputation comes from the pain of a tooth infection, a cracked tooth, or whatever got you into the dental chair. The root canal treatment is what RIDS you of that pain! It removes the infection and inflammation and allows your to save your tooth. 🦷

Plus, any pain that used to be associated with the procedure is ancient history. 🗝️ Today's anesthetic and technology-- like microscopes and 3D imaging-- make for a painless procedure that's over before you know it.

Who is an ? 🦷

Endodontists are dentists with two to three years of additional training. Their additional schooling makes them experts in diagnosing and treating tooth pain, most often with root canal treatment or other endodontic procedures. ✨

They use special equipment that helps them see what they otherwise could not. CBCT scans-- or Cone Beam Computed Tomography-- allows them to see your tooth in three dimensions, identifying hidden cracks, fractures, or inflammation. 🩻

They also work under microscopes, so they can see the tiny anatomy inside of your tooth up close. 🔬

For these reasons and more, endodontists are the specialists in root canal treatment. If you suspect you might need a root canal or are experiencing pain or sensitivity, find an endodontist today using our online directory! 🦷
