When Might It Be Necessary To Choose Endodontic Care?

The main goal of today’s modern endodontist is to save teeth. These specialists are committed to helping patients maintain a natural smile for an entire lifetime. From an educational standpoint, an endodontist will typically have two additional years of education beyond general dentistry making them an expert in performing various types of root canal treatment. They specialize in diagnosing and treating many types of tooth related pains related to the inner tooth pulp. Contacting an endodontic care provider may be required for a number of reasons.

Common Dental Symptoms

For example, any time a patient experiences tooth pain it is best to meet with a dental care provider or endodontist as soon as possible. Endodontic treatment may be necessary for a number of common dental symptoms including knocked out teeth, cracked teeth as well as dislodged teeth, tooth pain or an abscessed tooth. While an endodontist is primarily tasked with saving teeth they can also diagnose other tooth related problems and may offer treatment options that will serve the patient the best. This may include referring a patient to another type of specialist.

Dental Implants To Traumatic Dental Injuries

Another time when it may be necessary to visit with an endodontic care specialist is if a general dental care provider refers you to an endodontist. Endodontic treatment options vary and include everything from dental implants to traumatic dental injuries as well as endodontic surgery. Endodontic retreatments along with root canal related treatments are usually the standard type care offered. The main objective is always to help patients save their natural teeth as opposed to having a tooth extracted. That is why it is important to meet with your dental care provider and endodontic specialist as soon as possible when you encounter tooth related problems.
