Tips for teeth root canal therapy?

Endodontist: See an endodontist. They are experts and do this all day long. Ask them if they are trained to do root canals under a microscope. This yields the best results, is more efficient , and usually painless.

See a specialist: Endodontists are root canal specialists. You should see one who uses a microscope 100% during the entire procedure. Don't think about anyone who does not, because they could be missing anatomy, which may lead to eventual failure of the root canal treatment in the future.

See an Endodontist: Have your general dentist recommend an endodontist that he\she would go to him\herself for root canal therapy. If you require rct, go as soon as possible rather than waiting for pain and swelling to develop or get worse. Don't fear rct as 99% of the time it is an easy procedure with no pain during the procedure and little to mild pain afterwards. Patients who wait too long have problems.

Root canl: Go to the dentist when you first notice your have a toothache. Don't wait until your get swelling. This makes the root canal more uncomfortable (possibly during treatment) and more post operative pain. If you can take pain meds prior to treatment (i.e. Ibuprofen 800 mg) then I would recommend it. This will ensure pain meds are on board before your anesthetic wears off.

Extremely Important: It is extremely important that after you have visited the Endodontist or the General Dentist for your root canal therapy that you follow that appointment up with an another appointment to have the final restorative work on that tooth (filling or crown).
