Has your dentist recently told you that you need Endodontic treatment in Delray Beach, better known as a “root canal”? If so, you are one of more than 14 million individuals who will have Endodontic treatment this year. Endodontists are recognized by the American Dental Association as the “root canal specialists”. They are dentists with additional years of specialty training in the most complex Endodontic procedures, allowing them to use the latest technology to help their patients maintain their natural teeth for years to come. Additionally, they have training in the diagnosis of painful tooth and jaw conditions.
In essence, seeing an Endodontist is critical so that the root canal can be completed by the most qualified professional at your disposal, with the aim being to avoid the need for any later retreatment. Endodontists routinely perform routine as well as difficult and complex procedures and surgeries. As a matter of fact, using an Endodontist for your root canal treatment can ensure that even the most severely compromised tooth can be saved – a point not to be dismissed since nothing feels, looks, or even functions like your natural tooth.

In most situations, proper care of your teeth that have had Endodontic treatment will allow them to last as long as your natural teeth.

In such instances, Endodontic retreatment may be necessary.
