Root canal treatment — endodontic consultation

An endodontist is a dentist who specialises in root canal treatments. This doctor usually sees patients who suffer from advanced dental problems, often associated with unpleasant symptoms such as pain. An endodontic consultation is a basis for initiating effective treatment which can not only relieve pain, but also save the tooth from extraction. It should not be postponed if you want your smile to last a lifetime.

What is involved in a pre-treatment endodontic consultation?

An endodontic consultation is dedicated to people who suspect there is something wrong with their tooth or teeth — e.g. if they feel pain or discomfort, or have had a dental check-up and were told to see a specialist to continue the diagnostic process. During the consultation the doctor will first ask the patient about their symptoms, and then examine the area in question to be able to determine the next treatment steps, request more tests or confirm the diagnosis. To accurately define the patient’s needs, it is necessary to do some diagnostic exams — for example a periapical X-ray. The image obtained will allow the endodontist to see which areas of the tooth are affected, how many canals the tooth has and which areas require treatment.

An endodontic consultation usually involves 3 stages:

• discussion with the patient,
• dental check-up,
• X-ray diagnostics.

The result is a treatment plan which the doctor presents to the patient in order to decide together how to proceed. A consultation will not involve any treatment procedures.
