When a tooth becomes infected, it is important to see a root canal dentist such as Amir Sedaghat, DDS PC for the correct treatment. A root canal dentist can effectively remove the infected portion of the tooth and help the tooth return to good health. Otherwise, it is possible that a root canal dentist will need to extract the tooth in the future. As a root canal dentist, we can provide the necessary treatment to save as much of the natural tooth as possible.

Why visit a root canal dentist?

There are several types of dentists, with formal medical training and requirements necessary to become licensed and practice in the state. With that in mind, many people still seek generalized dental care when they need a root canal dentist. Thus, it is best to visit a medical professional that has the proper experience with the particular procedure. For example, anyone who has a heart condition will benefit best by speaking with a cardiologist over a general physician.

The examples are numerous, but the bottom line is that certain medical professionals dedicate their practice to specific issues while others are generalists and handle a little bit of everything. Those who choose to focus their practice on specific things are naturally going to have the most experience treating that issue. The more experience a physician has, the more likely that they will be able to reach a successful treatment outcome.

When it comes to a root canal this is incredibly important because a successful root canal can save the tooth and prevent a future extraction. If the procedure does not go well, the person may need to go through the procedure again or have a professional extract the entire tooth. Also, if a dentist has limited experience completing this procedure, there may be unnecessary damage or irritation to the dental tissue. A root canal dentist performs the procedure so frequently that this type of irritation is often not an issue after the treatment.

Get a second opinion

If a general dentist makes a recommendation to extract the tooth, speak with a root canal dentist, like us, before doing so. It is often possible to save a tooth and prevent an extraction by working with a dentist who performs root canals on a regular basis. It is far better for the body to keep a natural tooth.

A natural tooth is going to provide important stimulation to the jaw bone. If the tooth is extracted, stimulation will no longer occur and the jaw will begin to suffer from resorption. Additionally, replacing a tooth can be expensive. Completing a root canal can help to prevent that cost and inconvenience. This does not mean that every tooth can be saved but if anyone can save it, a root canal dentist would be the one to do so.

Optimal results and minimal discomfort

Ultimately, the reason to speak with a root canal dentist is to receive the best possible results and to experience the least possible discomfort during the procedure. As a dentist that performs root canals on a regular basis, we are the provider that is likely to deliver those optimal outcomes.
