Endodontists Are Experts in Pain Management Endodontists use specialized techniques to ensure patients are thoroughly comfortable during their treatments. They are experts in administering numbing medications, especially in patients who traditionally have problems getting and staying numb. In addition to treating you comfortably, patients will be relieved of tooth pain after their root canal procedure when the pulp infection or inflammation heals.dentiste à Longueuil Endodontists Use Cutting-Edge Technologies Endodontists have materials and equipment designed to make your treatment more comfortable and successful. They use a small sheet of plastic or rubber called a dental dam to isolate the tooth during treatment, protecting the rest of your mouth. Digital radiographs and 3-D imaging allows endodontists to take detailed pictures of tiny tooth anatomy to better see the root canals and any related infections. The space inside root canals is smaller than FDR's ear on the dime! Endodontists use dental operating microscopes to better see inside the root canals to thoroughly treat them. The 1993 United Kingdom Child Dental Health Survey showed that children who only attended dentists when having problems had more decayed and filled teeth than children who attended when asymptomatic.1 The so called “regular” attenders tended to have fewer teeth extracted. A similar survey of adults also showed that those who had check ups had almost half as many teeth missing as those who visited the dentist only when they had a problem.2 At first glance therefore the evidence suggests that individuals who go the dentist to seek treatment before symptoms arise actually do suffer fewer sequelae from the progression of dental disease. The picture is not, however, that simple. Oral ill health shows a social class gradient just as every other chronic lifestyle related disease does.1–3 The most affluent and socially advantaged individuals suffer low levels of dental disease, and those in the poorest and most disadvantaged groups have the highest disease rates. Similarly, those in higher socioeconomic groups are more likely to register with a dentist and are more likely to attend for check ups when they do not have symptoms.4 Thus the ubiquitous observation that going to the dentist lowers the risk of disease may in fact simply be yet another social class phenomenon. It might reflect differences in lifestyle, attitudes, behaviour, and access to health-providing products, foods, and services5 rather than being due to the effectiveness of preventive dentistry.
