About Endodontic Specialists

Based on Ehrlich Road in Tampa, Florida, Endodontic Specialists is a dental practice serving the area. Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Endodontic Specialists located in Tampa?
Endodontic Specialists is on Ehrlich Road in Tampa, Florida (33624).
What days is Endodontic Specialists open?
Endodontic Specialists is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Endodontic Specialists offer?
Listed services at Endodontic Specialists include Root Canal Treatment. The full list is shown on this page.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often yes, particularly on back teeth. A treated tooth loses internal structure and becomes more brittle, so a crown is usually recommended to protect it against fracture under chewing forces.
How many appointments does root canal treatment take?
It can sometimes be completed in one visit, though more complex teeth with several canals may need two. Which applies depends on the tooth involved and whether there is active infection to settle first.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

My experience was wonderful. I had been in pain for 6 months when I came to see them. I was so anxious about getting a root canal and everything involved. The whole staff was beyond patient and kind. The amazing doctor stopped and comforted me as many times as I needed it. Not only were they lovely during procedure, they also did an excellent job w the root canal. After being in pain for six months I finally have relief. I HIGHLY recommend them.

I highly recommend Dr. Goodman and her team. I went through a very stressful and complicated dental situation. Dr. Goodman was kind, thorough, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and help me feel confident in the decisions being made. I also really appreciated how well she worked together with my dentist and oral surgeon to make sure everyone was on the same page. Her assistant and the front desk staff were also so kind and welcoming, which made a difficult experience much easier. I’m very grateful for the care and support I received from everyone in the office.

Dr. Mericle and the office staff where excellent. Caring, honest and professional. My wife was in pain and vulnerable after being referred by our primary. Doctor advised extraction (which he did not do). Our Primary Dentist performed the extraction. Again very impressed- hope we don’t need an Endodotist in the future, but if we do this is where we are heading!

This was my second time coming here. The first time I was super nervous but Dr Amanda Goodman eased my worries. When I was told I had to have another root canal without a doubt I choosed to come back to Dr. Goodman. The staff was also amazing friendly & attentive.

What an amazing experience. I thought root canals were supposed to be miserable. Dr. Michael O’Donnell was able to save my tooth that I was really worried about losing. He made it an absolute painless procedure.Also his helper Jocelyn was awesome and made me very comfortable and I’m so grateful to them both. I recommend very very highly. Thank you again Endodontic Specialist and Dr O’Donnell

I was really nervous going in since this was my first root canal, but the experience was amazing from start to finish. Jocelyn was with me every step of the way and made me feel completely at ease. Then Dr. O’Donnell came in and had the root canal done in about 30 minutes — and I felt zero pain the entire time! Honestly, this was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. Highly recommend!
