In endodontics, everything begins with the right diagnosis. Whether you’re an endodontist or a general dentist performing root canals, your success depends on your ability to identify the true source of pain, navigate complex anatomy, and plan treatment with precision.

Let’s face it—just hearing the words “root canal” can make some patients nervous. It’s one of the most misunderstood dental procedures, often surrounded by outdated myths and unnecessary fear. At Global Surgical Corporation, we work with endodontists and general dentists who perform root canals every day using advanced tools like our dental operating microscopes. And here’s what they’ll tell you: today’s root canal is not something to dread—it’s a tooth-saving, pain-relieving, and surprisingly comfortable procedure.

Root canal therapy is one of the most common and effective ways to relieve dental pain and preserve your natural tooth—but if you don’t have dental insurance, cost is a valid concern.

When your general dentist refers you to an endodontist, it’s not just a matter of passing you off to another provider—it’s a referral to a dental specialist with advanced training in saving your natural teeth.

In the face of dental discomfort or disease, the knee-jerk reaction might often be to consider extraction. However, there's a branch of dental specialists for whom the mantra is "Save Your Tooth".

Endodontists are dedicated to preserving natural teeth, often preventing the need for dental implants or bridges.

Today, we're exploring the invaluable role endodontists play in dental health and why saving your natural tooth is often the best course of action.

At Global Surgical, we understand that root canal therapy can be a source of anxiety for many patients.

While it is one of the most common dental procedures, the fear and misunderstanding surrounding it often lead to hesitation or refusal of treatment. Effective communication is key to improving patient understanding and acceptance of root canal therapy.
