About root canals

An endodontist treats the inside of the tooth: root canals, retreatments and the surgery that sometimes follows. A root canal can save a tooth that would otherwise have to be pulled.

Paying for a visit

This is a dental school clinic. Treatment is given by students under faculty supervision, usually for less than a private practice charges, but appointments are longer and there is often a screening visit first. Dental school clinics: what to expect, and is it worth it?

Questions to ask when you call

• Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
• Does Nathaniel West see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
• Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
• Do you offer reduced fees or a payment plan for patients without insurance?
• What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?

A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
