ENDODONTICS
Experience the gentle difference.
Everyone wants to have a gentle doctor.
A Caring Positive Experience
Welcome!
At the Center for Endodontics in San Luis Obispo, CA we are dedicated to providing gentle treatment with care and compassion. Gilman W. Carr is a member of the American Association of Endodontics and is proud to provide root canal treatment to patients in the Central Coast
Endodontic treatment does not have to be an uncomfortable experience. We understand that hearing the words "root canal" makes some people uneasy. With modern and competent treatment, discomfort and anxiety need not be a part of your experience. By taking time to listen to our patients and address your concerns, we take pleasure in relieving you of the normal uneasiness associated with your endodontic needs. We also offer the option of oral sedation.
We hope this site is helpful to you in learning more about our practice, endodontic treatments, recommendations, and more.
What is Endodontics?
There are over 188,000 dentists in America, but only 4,531 of those dentists are endodontists. In fact, there are fewer endodontists than any other type of dentist out there.
That leaves many people asking, “What is endodontics?”
Well, endodontists don’t spend their time filling cavities or gluing down crowns. Instead, they focus on a very specific part of the tooth most other dentists don’t touch.
Here’s a quick look at the basics of endodontics and why it’s an important part of the dental industry.
