WHAT IS AN ENDODONTIST?

In short, we are a root canal specialist. An endodontist is a dentist who has attended several years of higher training post-dental school to learn specialized care of the root systems of the teeth. Endodontists save many teeth that would otherwise face extraction by clearing infection out of the roots and sealing the tooth to prevent further damage. This procedure is known as “Root Canal Therapy”.

REdefining a Root Canal with COMFORTABLE, SAFE ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

The first question you probably want to ask us is “Does root canal therapy hurt?” We are pleased to report to you that thanks to advancements in technology, anesthesia, and technique, root canal therapy is a much more comfortable procedure than in the past, and you should feel no pain during the process. We are able to keep the affected tooth numb throughout the procedure and for several hours after. Therefore, if you came in to see us with a toothache, you will be relieved to find it gone when you leave. In addition to specialized care, additional comfort options we offer are listening to music with our headphones or using our warm blanket to ensure you’re comfortable while here. We also offer nitrous oxide for patients who are interested.

Root Canal Surgery Crestview Hills KY

Endodontic (root canal) surgery can be used to locate fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but still manifest pain in the tooth. Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection.
