Root Canal Treatment in Greensboro
What is a root canal?
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.
At the center of your tooth is the pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.
Don’t Suffer From Tooth Pain Any Longer!
Pain in your tooth or gums may be a symptom of infected pulp. Piedmont Endodontics can perform a Root Canals to treat the infected pulp, relieve pain, and save your natural teeth!
If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Root canal therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment.
Drs. Baird, Stanley, Malueg, Horwitz, Morrow, Mohorn, Schweizer and Grine use local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia, if indicated. You will be able to drive home after your treatment, and you probably will be comfortable returning to your normal routine.

Endodontic Presentation
To provide you with a better understanding of endodontic procedures, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to root canal therapy are discussed.
What happens after treatment?
When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. You should contact their office for a follow-up restoration within a few weeks of completion at our office. Your restorative dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. To prevent further decay, continue to practice good dental hygiene.
How much will a root canal cost?
The cost associated with root canals can vary depending on factors such as the severity of damage to the affected tooth and which tooth is affected. In general, endodontic treatment is much less expensive than tooth removal and replacement with an artificial tooth.

Piedmont Endodontics
Patient Review by Barbara L
I was very pleasantly pleased with my experience with Piedmont Endodontics. I was scheduled for a root canal and was very anxious about the procedure. The staff at the front office were cordial and efficient. Dr. Mohorn was professional and administered almost painless numbing and completion of the root canal. BUT, the greatest impression that I had while there was of Tonya, the dental assistant that cared for me. She was so calming and reassuring to my frazzeled nerves. She explained all the processes as they occurred so I wasn’t left wondering what was going on. She even prayed with me, what an amazing lady. Overall, I would highly recommend Piedmont Endodontics.

As I stated above, I could not have had a better medical experience ! Dr. Baird explained the procedure thoroughly, had a great "chair-side" manner and performed the root canal with minimal discomfort !! His assisting staff were equally professional and reassuring during the procedure !! I could not ask for better care !!!

Patient Review by Kathryn K
Dr. Horowitz and Piedmont Endodontics were wonderful. I very much appreciated Dr. Horowitz's kind manner as well as keeping me informed about how the procedure was going. I had very little pain after the novocaine wore off and absolutely no pain the next morning. He did an excellent job and I will be sure to return here if I need treatment in the future of this nature. Thank you!

Dr. Schweizer has an extremely warm/kind "bedside" manner. He explains everything before & after the procedure. He is very mindful of a person's nervousness and puts you at ease. His assistant was the same way! She constantly made sure I was comfortable and asked if I needed anything. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. The whole staff had a smile and a warm greeting.

Dr. Schweizer and his assistant Madison were awesome! They were both very nice, knowledgeable and professional. They carefully listened to everything I had to say and thoroughly answered all my questions. They did an excellent job on my root canal. I had no pain at all from start to finish and the procedure didn’t take as long as I thought it would. Also I had hardly no pain after the anesthesia wore off. If I ever need endodontic treatment again I would definitely use Dr. Schweizer and Madison again. I can highly recommend them to anyone who needs endodontic treatment.

Madison and Dr. Schweizer are professional and competent. Plus compassionate and friendly. Warm blankets and tapping on the shoulder while the numbing medicine was administered are just a few of the special things these people, including the rest of the office staff do. Excellent service. Thank you!!

After hearing horror stories about root canals my entire life, i was very nervous going in. I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience. Dr. Stanley and his assistant Dallas were both very calming and professional. The front office was also very nice. Thank you all.

Patient Review by Jill P
Today was the first time I have ever had a root canal and exploratory surgery done. I did not feel any pain as I was numbed very well. Dr. Baird and Ashley along with other staff made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. I was very apprehensive but the procedure went so smooth with no pain. Most people are like me and very afraid of dental procedures like a root canal, but go for it at Piedmont endodontics.

Patient Review by Tony C
I had delayed treatment for several years through the dread of having a root canal and then trying to eat differently with hopes of healing somehow. Neither was a good idea because I experienced immediate relief with this procedure. Don't misunderstand, it is still a root canal, but the great care by which I was treated far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Scheweizer and Madiscn (I hope I have her name correct:-)) along with their team at the High Point office did a fantastic job. I highly recommend Piedmont Endodontics for any need you may have. Thank you!
