    Our office also gives our patient the option of traditional local anesthesia as well as nitrous-oxide and also conscious sedation. Dr Albani uses a physician who is a anesthesiologist to use intra-venous sedation for those patients who would like to be asleep while their treatment is performed. Please feel free to discuss those options with our staff!

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 Colonia's 7 clinics offering root canals list an endodontist on staff in our data yet. See endodontists in Colonia
