What services does a endodontist provide?
Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. Root canals are the most common endodontic procedure. The procedure involves the removal of infected or damaged pulp and attempting to save the damaged tooth.
At Chinook Dental Group, we offer various endodontic services including dental trauma, endodontic microsurgeries, root canal retreatment, and root canals.

When should you see an endodontist?
You may need an endodontics procedure if you experience any of the following symptoms: severe tooth pain or sensitivity, prolonged tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth, a recurring or persistent pimple on the gums, or a darkening or discoloration of the affected tooth.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, schedule an appointment with our endodontist to properly diagnose and determine if you need an endodontics procedure. You do not need a dental referral.
