How can I find the best endodontist near me?

To locate the best endodontist nearby, first ask your general dentist or friends and family for referrals. Also, search online for endodontists in your area. Reading reviews from past patients can help you make an informed choice.

What qualifications should I look for in an endodontist?

Look for an endodontist who has extra training in endodontics after dental school. Board certification and membership in professional organizations can also show high expertise.

How much does a root canal treatment cost?

The cost of a root canal can vary depending on factors such as the tooth's location, the case's complexity, and the need for extra procedures. It's best to consult with the endodontist for an accurate cost estimate.

How long does a root canal take to complete?

A root canal's duration depends on factors like the location and number of root canals. But, it typically takes one to two hours to complete. Your endodontist will give you more specific info based on your case.

What should I expect during a root canal procedure?

When doing a root canal, the endodontist will numb the area with local anesthesia first. Then they remove the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth's interior. Next, they clean and disinfect the root canals. Finally, they fill and seal the tooth to stop more infections.

Can I eat normally after a root canal?

Dentists advise avoiding chewing on the treated tooth right after a root canal for proper healing. But, you can normally eat again once the swelling has gone down. Your endodontist may recommend sticking to soft foods initially.

How successful are root canal treatments?

Root canals are effective. Most patients have less pain and infection afterward. You should follow your endodontist's post-treatment instructions and go for regular follow-up visits for the best outcomes.

What are the options for root canal treatment?

Sometimes, tooth extraction or dental implants are options if a root canal is not feasible or doesn't work. But it's best to save the natural tooth if possible. When available, a root canal is the preferred choice.

How do I schedule an appointment with an endodontist?

Booking an endodontist appointment is simple. You can call the dental clinic or use their online system to find a time. When scheduling, supply any required information like dental insurance details.

Endodontists in India

Q: Is root canal treatment painful?

We use local anesthesia and modern techniques. Root canals are not usually painful. You may feel some pain during the procedure, but it is usually bearable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Endodontists specialise in saving and repairing natural teeth. At Clove Dental, our endodontists in India manage deep decay, cracks, trauma, internal infections, complex fillings, and cases requiring structural restoration.

Through root canal therapy and tooth-preserving treatments, they relieve pain, protect natural strength, and restore comfortable chewing and long-lasting function.

When to See an Endodontist

Knowing when to consult an endodontist is important because early treatment can stop pain, prevent complications, and often save the tooth from extraction. You should see an endodontist if you notice any of the following:

Pain while chewing, biting, or even lightly touching the tooth often indicates nerve inflammation or deep decay.

If hot or cold foods trigger pain that lasts more than a few seconds, the inner pulp may be irritated or infected.

Early black spots, brown patches, or shadowing are common signs of progressing dental caries. When decay approaches the nerve, an endodontist’s intervention is crucial to save the tooth.

Puffiness, tenderness, or warmth in the gums often point to infection at the tooth root.

Internal discoloration may signal a damaged or dying nerve and requires immediate evaluation.

A gum boil, bad taste, or drainage of pus means the infection has spread and needs urgent root canal treatment.

Cracks from trauma, biting hard foods, or grinding can expose the pulp and lead to rapid infection.

If discomfort persists after a filling or crown, the tooth’s nerve may be compromised and require endodontic attention.

How Endodontic Treatment Works

Endodontic care is tailored to the condition of each tooth. Whether it’s deep decay, a cracked tooth, trauma, or nerve infection, our endodontists follow a structured, comfort-focused approach to save and restore the tooth.

Detailed Assessment

A complete clinical exam with digital X-rays helps identify the problem—whether it’s decay near the nerve, infection, or internal damage.

Pain Relief & Protection

We numb the tooth fully to ensure a comfortable experience. The tooth is isolated to keep it clean during treatment.

Targeted Treatment Based on the Tooth’s Condition

Depending on the tooth’s condition, treatment can remove infection, repair damage, manage trauma, redo failed work, or preserve the nerve to save the tooth.

Sealing & Strengthening

Once treated, the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection. If required, the tooth is built up or prepared for a crown to restore strength and function.

Final Restoration & Follow-Up

A filling or crown is placed to protect the tooth long-term. Follow-up ensures healing and complete comfort.

Common Dental Issues Treated by Endodontists

Whether it’s a small cavity, deep decay, or a complex nerve-related problem, endodontists diagnose and treat a wide range of tooth and nerve issues that affect comfort, function, and long-term tooth health. The most common concerns include:

Cavities & Deep Decay: Decay that reaches close to the nerve, causing pain, sensitivity, or structural weakness.
Tooth Pain & Sensitivity: Lingering discomfort triggered by biting pressure, heat, or cold due to pulp irritation or infection.
Dental Abscess: Swelling, pus, or a gum boil caused by an untreated infection at the root.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth: Damage from trauma, hard bites, or grinding that exposes inner layers of the tooth.
Pulpitis: Inflammation of the tooth’s pulp leading to sharp, throbbing, or radiating pain.
Tooth Discoloration: A tooth turning dark or grey—often caused by nerve damage or internal bleeding.
Trauma-Related Injuries: Chips, displacement, or internal damage from accidents or sports injuries.
Failed Previous Root Canal: Persistent pain, swelling, or new infection after earlier treatment.
