Why see an endodontic specialist for tooth pain?

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages, think you may have cracked a tooth or suffered a dental trauma, what’s your next step? Keep in mind that the endodontist at 

Concho Valley Endodontics specializes in diagnosing and treating tooth pain, especially when it comes to saving that precious natural tooth! 

That’s why dentists refer patients suffering from tooth pain to our practice. They understand that we’ve got years of additional training in our specialty, and that fewer than three percent of all dentists in the U.S. have undergone the rigorous requirements to become endodontists. Our specialty requires precise hand-eye coordination and highly advanced technology to perform our treatments. That’s why while other dental practitioners may favor tooth extraction, we’re focused on tooth preservation whenever possible.

Our root canal procedure has become the most straightforward and effective treatment for eliminating our patients’ discomfort while protecting their teeth. Forget those old canards about root canal; today’s endodontics have flipped the script on yesterday’s misconceptions. State-of-the-art techniques and anesthesia have made root canals far quicker and eliminated most of the discomfort. In most cases, the procedure is no more bothersome than having your dentist put in a filling. 

During this treatment, our endodontist carefully removes the infected portion from the tooth’s interior, cleans the root canals, and seals up the space so a crown can be placed on the tooth. The mild discomfort you may experience for a short period afterward will be rewarded with a healthy, fully functional tooth that looks and feels like it did before the pain or injury. 

When your tooth hurts, you want the pain to stop quickly. Our endodontic specialist at Concho Valley Endodontics can deliver relief while saving that tooth, avoiding the need for an expensive replacement that’s no substitute for the original equipment. That’s what endodontists do, and we do it better than any other dental professional. Please contact us today for an appointment!
