Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating issues related to the dental pulp, which is the soft inner tissue of the teeth. They perform procedures such as root canals, endodontic retreatment, and surgeries like apicoectomy to save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
This specialty is a branch of dentistry known as endodontics, derived from the Greek words “endo,” meaning inside, and “odont,” meaning tooth. Endodontists are often referred to as root canal specialists because they frequently perform root canal treatments to save teeth that are severely infected or damaged. They undergo extensive training beyond dental school, including two to three additional years of advanced education in endodontics. This advanced training equips them with the skills and expertise needed to perform complex procedures and manage tooth pain effectively
The primary role of an endodontist is to preserve natural teeth by treating issues related to the dental pulp and root tissues. They use advanced techniques and technologies, such as digital imaging, microscopes, and specialized instruments, to diagnose and treat conditions like toothaches, cracked teeth, and dental trauma. Endodontists are highly skilled in performing root canals, endodontic retreatment (redoing a previous root canal that didn’t heal properly), and apicoectomy (removal of the tip of the tooth root). Their expertise in pain management and precision in handling delicate dental structures make them the best choice for patients requiring intricate dental care. By focusing on the interior health of the teeth, endodontists play a crucial role in maintaining overall oral health and helping patients retain their natural teeth whenever possible.
You should see an endodontist if you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or have had a traumatic dental injury. Your general dentist may also refer you to an endodontist if you need specialized care, such as a root canal.
Endodontists perform a variety of procedures, including:
- Root canal treatment
- Endodontic retreatment (redoing a previous root canal)
- Apicoectomy (surgical removal of the tooth root tip)
- Treatment for traumatic dental injuries
- Endodontic surgery to address complex cases
Root canal procedures are designed to relieve pain caused by infected or inflamed dental pulp. With modern anesthetics and techniques, the procedure is usually no more painful than getting a regular filling. Some discomfort may occur post-treatment, but it can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers
Endodontists are trained in various pain management techniques to ensure patient comfort during and after procedures. This includes the use of local anesthesia, sedation options for anxious patients, and recommendations for pain relief medications post-procedure

Answers to Your Questions
Stamford, CT, named for Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, is located on the Long Island Sound and was a popular place for New Yorkers to build summer homes in the late 1800s. Many loved the area so much that they moved here permanently and commuted to the city by train to work and conduct their business. Just as those new residents found the quaint town of the day to have a unique charm, we join the other Stamford residents of today who love this city for its special flair. Many people find this surprising because New Haven and Bridgeport are the only cities in Connecticut with higher populations than Stamford. Still, its long history has helped it develop into a truly unique modern municipality. Seated about halfway between New York City and New Haven, this city of around 130,000 is considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area, but offers residents more of a hometown feel.
Part of the reason for that small-town charm and comfort level in Stamford is its low crime rate. FBI statistics show that our city is the 16th safest of the 269 cities in the country. This is quite an achievement for an area that is part of the largest metropolis in the country. Crime control is one of the many things that contribute to residents choosing Stamford as their home. Compared with similar-sized cities, both in Connecticut and in the rest of the country, it is rare to find a safe haven like this. There is certainly a direct correlation between the city’s economic growth in recent years and the low crime rate that our citizens enjoy.
Stamford is a thriving economy in and of itself, with the largest financial district in the metropolitan area, aside from Manhattan. As the home of nine Fortune 500 companies, Stamford features one of the most concentrated centers of corporations in the entire country. Norwalk Community College and UConn Stamford are located here, along with several other popular schools, bringing new minds to the city and encouraging the local economy’s growth. Some of the dominant sectors of the current economy include retail, transportation, telecommunications, health care, information technology, tourism, and financial services. There is no other place for our office to make its home with a vibrant urban pulse like this.

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J -
My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home. -
Mimi was awesome, caring and responsible!! As was Dr. Roth!
