If our childrens teeth fall out (the baby teeth) should they have to get root canals? Is the dentist pulling our leg telling us they have to have one? What do you think? Anyone? Dentists? Anyone out there with similar experiences? Thank You and Have A Blessed Day
Children's dentists provide cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, stainless steel crowns, root canals, and education to help prevent future tooth problems.
A DMD is the same as a DDS - it just depends where you went to school. Since both degrees are dentists...YES, a DMD can do root canals. The specific specialist that does root canals is an endodontist, but general dentists can do them as well.

No. The ER will only give you a prescription for an antibiotic or extract the tooth. Root canals are time-consuming elective procedures that are not appropriate for the ER setting. Besides that, most ER physicians are not trained in root canal procedures, and the ER is not equipped to perform root canals. You need to go to a dentist office.
