Questions about Merrick Endodontics
What does an endodontist do?
An endodontist is a dental specialist focused on the inside of the tooth. Endodontists diagnose tooth pain and perform root canal therapy, endodontic retreatment, and endodontic microsurgery such as apicoectomy, with the goal of relieving pain and saving natural teeth.
Is Merrick Endodontics accepting patients?
Not yet. Merrick Endodontics is an endodontic specialty practice currently in development in Merrick, NY, and is planned to open in early 2027. The practice is not accepting patients or referrals at this time. Updates will be posted on this website.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. With modern anesthesia and microscope-guided technique, treatment is generally comparable in comfort to having a filling placed. Most patients return to normal activities the next day.
What areas will Merrick Endodontics serve?
The practice is being developed in Merrick, NY to serve the surrounding South Shore communities of Nassau County, including Bellmore, Wantagh, Freeport, Seaford, Massapequa, and Rockville Centre, along with the wider Nassau County area.
Should I try to save my tooth or have it extracted?
Whenever a natural tooth can be predictably saved, keeping it is usually the better long-term choice for comfort, function, and bone health. The right answer depends on the tooth itself, which is why an in-person evaluation matters. Our education article on root canal treatment versus extraction walks through how the decision is made.
