Frequently Asked Questions
Endodontics is the practice of dentistry that focuses on disease or injury of the soft tissues inside a tooth, referred to in the industry as “dental pulp.”
Endodontic procedures remove inflamed, infected dental pulp so the inside of the tooth can be cleaned. Afterward, the tooth is filled and sealed. A temporary crown is often placed on the tooth until you can visit your regular dentist, who then does a permanent crown. At Utah Endodontists, our doctors perform the following:
- Root Canals
- Retreatment
- Apicoectomy
If the dental pulp of a tooth is infected or inflamed, only endodontics can get to the root of the issue. Addressing the problem can prevent further damage to the tooth and surrounding gums. Endodontics procedures can prevent the spread of bacteria throughout the mouth.
Some of the signs that you need endodontic treatment include:
- Pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkened gums
- Cracked or chipped tooth
- A hole in a tooth
Your dentist can help determine via x-rays, thermal and electric testing, or tapping your tooth if you need endodontic work done.
First and foremost, endodontic treatment should relieve pain. It also prevents additional problems from developing in your mouth, which can affect your overall health.

EXCELLENT Based on 102 reviews Posted on Stacie ChristensenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a root canal performed by Dr. Kjar, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the care I received was excellent. Dr. Kjar was professional, calm, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately put me at ease. The procedure itself was smooth and virtually painless, far exceeding my expectations. The entire staff was welcoming, efficient, and genuinely caring, making what could have been a stressful appointment feel comfortable and well-managed. I’m extremely grateful for the level of skill and compassion shown throughout my visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Kjar to anyone needing endodontic care—you’ll be in great hands.Posted on Lacy MackayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience! I was feeling anxious because I was getting my first root canal. Dr. Kjar and his team were amazing! Dr. Kjar consistently checked on me throughout the procedure. I had my root canal done on a Friday. Dr. Kjar called me the next day, on Saturday to check on me and ask if I had any questions. Dr. Kjar was gentle with the numbing shots. He, and his exceptional assistant; Hailey both checked to make sure I couldn’t feel anything. The entire staff were so kind and professional. Dr. Kjar is so kind and personable.

I heard a bunch of horror stories about a root canal prior to going. However, everything went smooth and the experience was easier and better than getting a crown for me. I had very minor to no pain afterwards. I am shocked it went so well.Posted on Rachel StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
