From what I know, after a few root canals, the Endodontist has more training. Think about the actual process, they drill holes into the crown of the tooth precisely over the roots. Then they use a little hand drill and destroy all of the root. They have to get every bit of it. He should take several HD X-rays before during and after to be certain it is all gone. Then fill the holes, and when the Novocaine wears off, all the pain is gone.

Simple question how much would you pay right now to to have all the pain gone in that tooth, and get back to normal? It is worth every penny, and you can keep that tooth another 25 or 30 years with any luck. They do get brittle and can break with time. Then it is the much more expensive implant and crown solution.
