Root Canals | Root Canal Therapy
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 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.
How is a root canal performed?
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. This 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. We 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.
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 it cost?
The cost associated with this procedure 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.

I have been a patient with Dr. Evans for over 30 years. He and his team are excellent. My most recent procedures were performed by Dr. Yee. She is truly skilled in her craft. I especially like the fact that her and I are the same height, short but large and in charge regarding her dental skills. I truly recommend Dr. Evans and his team to anyone in need of highly skilled dental services.

It was warm, inviting and everyone was extremely welcoming, from administration to the techs and dentists. I'm so pleased with my result. I can't say its the end result yet because I plan on having more work.

The sleep apnea dental device is fantastic. I feel more rested, and am able to fall asleep easier over a CPAP device.

Dental Care Of Baltimore has been the best dental office I have ever been too. I have had a lot of dental work in my life and was terrified of the dentist until DCOB. The staff is warm, welcoming and over all amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone, no matter what the cause. They gave me my smile back and my confidence. Big thanks to Dr. George and the staff at Dental Care Of Baltimore. Your the best!

Professionalism, patient, considerate, concerned, prompt, and overall good atmosphere. Usually people have a trying experience. But here it is a relaxing experience where you don't concentrate on your pain. This is how it is from the time you come with the receptionist area until you leave. When you get a reminder call about your appointment, there is such a good personal touch where you feel like you're letting them down if you don't come in. Modern technology is awesome with your choice of music, chair massager, etc. There is an overall concern with Dr. George and the hygienist Drenna.

Share' F. was absolutely the best hygienist I have ever had in over 60 years of visits to the dentist.Her wonderful spirit placed me at ease and her level of expertise as well as the high tech equipment used made this scaling and root planing the the best experience,of this kind, I have ever had.I would recommend this practice and hygienist to everyone.I am thankful because this experience with Share' is beginning to restore my faith in dentist.
- Roxie C
I typically am not a fan of the dentist but I was VERY impressed with the overall professionalism of the staff. The office is state of the art and offers a lot of nice "amenities" for patients including a massager in the patient chair as well as overhead flat screens and headphones to utilize and help take your mind off the procedure. They truly make dental visits a pleasurable experience. I will certainly recommend this office to family and friends.

I would like to thank dental care of Baltimore for taking grate care of my teeth for over the last 4 years. Dr. Evens and his whole staff is the upmost professionals that I ever had dealing with, his facility is always clean and his staff gives off a family type atmosphere that makes you feel always welcomed. I was referred to his office by my lifelong friend, who also was happy with his treatment there. Although I am fund of the whole staff there is however a favorite dental hygienist who I kindly request to do my cleaning procedures her name is Drenna and she is absolutely best ever. I wish that I could rate her higher than the website allows because I would rate her a 10 stars plus. Thanks again to Dr. Evens, Drenna and the whole dental care of Baltimore professional staff. B.
