Endodontist and Root Canals in Indianapolis

Visiting an endodontist is not as scary as it seems. We promise.

Endodontics is a fancy word that mask some of the fear behind its more common street name: root canal. The truth is a root canal is not nearly as scary as it may seem. The media has given root canals a bad reputation for drama’s sake, so that you have a reason to laugh along with and root for your favorite TV characters.

Just like adults, children should visit the dentist every six months. However, pediatric dentistry is slightly different than dentistry for adults because the eruption of teeth needs to be monitored. Baby teeth should erupt on a certain schedule, paving the way for healthy adult teeth to come in. Dental checkups are also essential for detecting signs of tooth decay and gum disease so they can be proactively treated.

If you’re suffering from tooth related pain on a regular basis, a root canal maybe necessary for giving you your life back. Root canals are required when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected and needs to be removed. Dentists treat the area in order to preserve the tooth, keeping it from having to be replaced entirely.

Our expert team at Steckbeck Family Dentistry makes the process as painless as possible, placing our patients’ comfort on the same plane as their oral health. We’ll be candid about your dentistry needs, answer any and all questions you may have, and treat your teeth effectively so that you can get back to watching those TV shows, and rooting for your favorite characters.

Signs That You May Need an Endodontic Treatment

  • Extreme pain while chewing
  • Increased sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
  • Swollen gums around the infected tooth
  • Tooth discoloration

  • Tooth pain so severe it wakes you up in the middle of the night


Suffering from regular pain is no way to live. If you’re battling these symptoms, it’s time to meet with one of our professionals for a basic examination. If an endodontic treatment is the best solution, we’ll schedule an appointment as soon as possible and you’ll be one step closer to a healthy mouth and pain-free life.
