What to know about Black Endodontics care
Endodontists perform root canals and diagnose complex tooth pain. They are the specialists who save teeth that a general dentist would otherwise extract. For Black patients, access to endodontics matters because untreated tooth infections disproportionately lead to ER visits. Black adults are 75 percent more likely to visit an ER for dental pain (ADA, 2022), often because they lacked timely access to specialist dental care.
