Advanced Endodontic Care in Hialeah

Dr. Isamary Herrera, DMD has completed advanced training in microscope-assisted endodontics at our Hialeah office. Using a dental operating microscope, she achieves exceptional precision in root canal treatment — particularly valuable for complex cases with curved canals, calcified canals, or retreatment cases.

After Your Root Canal

Most patients experience significant pain relief within 24-48 hours of root canal treatment. The tooth may be sore for a few days. Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until a crown is placed. Schedule your crown appointment promptly — a root canal-treated tooth without a crown is at high risk for fracture.
