    In their words

    It all began with a single patient. She was frustrated at the desire to have a change in her dental health, but could not find a great dental office who cared about her as a person. She needed a place that would treat her like family. Seeing her life change due to dental health started us on a new mission. And we soon found there are many other patients just like her.

What is a root canal?

A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals. It is done to save a natural tooth that would otherwise need to come out. Most back teeth need a crown afterward.

Root canal: specialist or general dentist?

Many general dentists perform root canals, especially on front teeth and premolars. Endodontists are root canal specialists with 2–3 extra years of training. They are often recommended for molars with curved or hidden canals, retreatments, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

None of Albemarle's 22 clinics offering root canals list an endodontist on staff in our data yet. See endodontists in Albemarle
