What Endodontics means for Hickory residents
Endodontists are tooth-saving specialists. They diagnose and treat pain inside the tooth — the pulp and nerve tissue. Their most common procedure is root canal therapy, but they also handle complex cases like retreating failed root canals, treating traumatic dental injuries, and performing apicoectomies (surgical root procedures). Endodontists complete 2–3 years of additional training focused on internal tooth disease and pain management.

See an endodontist if you have severe tooth pain, especially when biting or with hot/cold that lingers, swelling near a tooth, or a tooth that's darkened after an injury. Your general dentist will refer you if a root canal is needed, but you can also schedule directly if you're experiencing symptoms.
