A Root Canal Specialist
Endodontists are dentists who have pursued 2-3 years of additional training beyond dental school to become experts at performing root canal therapy and related surgical procedures, the goal of which is to remove inflammation and infection from your teeth and jaw bone. Because even seemingly simple root canals can be very complex, it is important that you and your dentist carefully consider who will treat you and your tooth. In general, the more roots a tooth has, the more complex the root canal. You or your dentist may prefer that you are treated by an endodontist, like Dr. Gibby. Not every root canal needs to be treated by a specialist to have a good outcome. All dentists receive training to provide basic root canal (endodontic) treatment. However, even seemingly simple root canals can be very complex, so it’s important that you and your dentist carefully consider how to best manage your condition. In general, the more roots a tooth has, the more complex the root canal. You or your dentist may prefer that you are treated by an endodontist.
