Understand care for a problem inside a tooth.
Request an appointment
Start with understanding the tooth.
Enamel Dental describes root canal treatment as care for the canal space inside a tooth. Its published information discusses removing affected tissue and filling that space.
The practice also explains that some teeth may need further treatment and discusses the role of an endodontist, a root canal specialist.
At your appointment
Tell the office about pain, previous treatment and any changes you have noticed. Ask the dentist to explain the findings, whether root canal care is appropriate and whether a specialist should be involved. A consultation is the place to discuss alternatives and follow-up.
Questions worth bringing
- What is causing the problem in this tooth?
- Will a specialist need to be involved?
- What follow-up or restoration might be needed?
