What Our Guests Are Saying...


What is an Endodontist?

The majority of an Endondotist's work revolves around root canal therapy, which is the primary means of treating infections of a tooth's pulp in order to prevent the tooth from needing to be extracted.

Persistent aching, sharp pain or cracking within a tooth may indicate that its pulp has become infected and requires a root canal procedure.
