Endodontists are preferred by RCT patients

December 7, 2007 By Dr. Chetan 2 Comments

Root canal treatment is one of the most fearful dental treatment, as it leads to a lot of dental pain and the patient is always in a search of a perfect dental professional who can treat him in a correct manner by which the fear and pain is reduced.
Now the fear and pain of Root canal treatments is fading away much due to the techniques and tactics used by the RCT specialists, Endodontists.

According to L.C. Williams & Associates poll, 89% of patients who visit an endodontist for a RCT, return back for future procedures and treatments. While comparing with a normal dental professional, this number is higher as endodontists make the work in RCT much easier and painless.
People and even general dentists would prefer an endodontist to perform a Root canal treatment.

Teeth are precious for each and every individual, so their protection and cure from any problem has to be in hands of a perfect person, so a specialist in endodontics is the best for root canal procedures.
According to a patient, like a cardiologist is preferred for heart problems, and neurologist for kidney.. in the same way for a root canal treatment, an Endodontist is the best to contact.

An endodontist becomes one by pursuing a 4 year graduation of bachelor degree in dentistry, then 2-3 years course of specialization in endodontics(where they learn about administering anesthesia and use of leading-edge technologies can make root canal treatment more effective and predictable and result in a more positive patient experience.)

Endodontists are like micro-surgeons who are perfectly trained to create channels and canals inside a tooth and fill it with some biocompatible material. There are instruments like digital radiography and operating microscopes which are the recent advances in Endodontics and these things have greatly helped in making treatments like RCT painless.
