The pain associated with root canal treatment is the stuff of legend. In fact, today it’s a myth. Modern root canal treatment is nearly painless for most people. Endodontists are root canal specialists specifically trained to relieve oral and facial pain and save natural teeth.
 
If your teeth are unusually sensitive to heat or cold or hurt when you bite, or if you suffer from facial swelling, you may need to see an endodontist. This section of the Web site, created specifically for patients, contains information about endodontists, endodontics and root canals.
