Read the following article in The Atlantic: “The Myth of Root Canals — Good news: They are no longer terrible.”

Reason 1: Experience

On average, endodontists perform nearly 25 root canal treatments a week, while general dentists perform less than two.

Reason 2: Efficiency

Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.

Reason 3: Availability

Most endodontists offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.

Reason 4: Advanced Technology

Many endodontists use state-of-the-art technology, such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, ultrasonic instrumentation, and fiber optics, to treat their patients quickly and comfortably.

Today, getting root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
