About Geric Endodontics

Based on Hodges Boulevard in the Southside area of Jacksonville, Florida, Geric Endodontics 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 Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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.

How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs are lingering pain after something hot or cold, pain when biting down, a tooth that darkens, or a persistent pimple-like spot on the gum. Diagnosis needs an examination and usually an X-ray, since these can point to other problems too.
What happens if I do not get a root canal?
The infection inside the tooth does not resolve by itself. It typically progresses to an abscess and can spread into surrounding bone, and the tooth is far more likely to be lost. Extraction becomes the alternative once the tooth cannot be saved.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

Chris was a master in creating solutions, explaining in great detail and executing with flawless perfection. Hopefully I don’t have to come back; but if you need a root canal this is the ONLY place to go

If you'd like "the best root canal experience" one could hope for, you'd be blessed to go to this particular office. Between Dr. Geric, and his wonderful Assistant, every question was kindly and professionally addressed. Not to forget to how they let you know, exactly what they're doing through the process. It felt seamless! The lovely atmosphere, along with having an endodontist with skill and (Chairside manner) is priceless!

I’m a nervous dental patient. I went to Geric Endodontics for a root canal. Without question the entire staff at Geric is amazing, caring and incredibly professional. Dr Geric is so talented! I didn’t feel a thing and he walked me through the entire process with great sensitivity and caring. Cameron, his assistant on this procedure was similarly so amazing in making me comfortable. I would never go anywhere else for a root canal and without reservation would recommend this practice if you need a procedure. As an aside the entire office looks like a clean space with everything being very crisp l, clean and comfortable. Clearly they understand that details matter.

Dr. Geric and the entire team at Geric Endodontics were outstanding. I was dealing with significant dental pain and needed answers fast. Dr. Geric got me in quickly, took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on, and made me feel completely comfortable with the treatment plan. His professionalism, knowledge, and bedside manner are second to none. The staff was equally impressive. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making a stressful situation easier. The procedure went smoothly, and I left feeling informed, relieved, and confident I was in the right hands. If you need an endodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Geric and his team. Five stars all the way around.

Dr Chris and staff are amazing and caring even after the procedure! Dr Chris was able to save my tooth and crown after having to drill on an existing crown to correct a root canal that was previously done years ago by another dentist!! Definitely would recommend Geric Endodontics! Yes I would drive the 50 miles (One way) if I need them again!

Best dental experience I’ve ever had! Dr. Geric is highly skilled, very caring and very gentle towards me as a patient who always had extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist, but Dr. Geric and his assistant, Shayna and the entire staff at his clinic completely changed my perspective. Shayna was incredibly sweet, and very calming. She explained every step of the process, and checked on my comfort throughout the entire process. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a compassionate and pain-free experience. Thank you Dr. Geric and your amazing team for a job well done and a fantastic result!
