Why Go To An Endodontist?

If you have a tooth that is severely decayed, damaged or infected, your general dentist may have referred you to an endodontist – especially if your tooth is causing you unbearable pain. That referral is a testament to your dentist’s commitment to providing you with the highest quality of care and to saving (instead of pulling!) your tooth. But you might be wondering why see an endodontist instead of some other specialist? Here’s why:

Specialized Expertise

Saving teeth and relieving toothache pain is what endodontist do. Endodontists are dental specialists who have completed additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on diagnosing tooth pain and treating issues related to the dental pulp and root canal systems. This specialized knowledge equips us to handle the most difficult, complex cases — which is what we do every day. Whether you are facing a simple assessment of undiagnosed tooth pain, a root canal or a more complicated procedure, you can trust that Wells Endodontics has the expertise and the technology to provide you with the best possible care.

*FUN FACT: Wells Endodontics has earned a distinction shared by few, if any other, endodontic practices in the nation: more of our patients come to us from “word-of-mouth referrals” than from any other single source. That happens so frequently because our patients tell their friends, tell their families and tell their neighbors how happy they are with the relaxing, pain-free experience they had at Wells Endodonties
