What endodontics does

Endodontists focus on the inside of the tooth — the pulp and root canals — primarily performing root canal therapy to relieve pain and save natural teeth.

When to see an endodontics

  • Severe, lingering tooth pain
  • Pain on biting or sustained sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swelling near a tooth or a 'pimple' on the gum (fistula)
  • Tooth darkening after an injury
  • Need for re-treatment of a previous root canal

Common procedures

Root canal therapyRoot canal retreatmentApicoectomy (surgical root tip removal)Treatment of traumatic dental injuriesInternal bleaching of darkened teeth

What to expect from a visit

A root canal typically takes 1–2 visits of 60–90 minutes under local anesthesia. Most patients report it feels similar to a filling. A permanent crown is usually placed afterward by your general dentist.

Insurance & cost questions

Root canals are usually covered as a major service (50–80%). Confirm if a referral is required by your plan.

Coverage varies by plan. Always confirm with both the dental office and your insurer before treatment.

Emergency warning signs

  • Severe spontaneous pain keeping you awake
  • Facial swelling that is increasing
  • Fever combined with mouth pain

For airway problems, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial trauma, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Can I just pull the tooth instead?+
Sometimes, but keeping your natural tooth is usually preferable for long-term bite and bone health.
