Call or Text : Lynchburg, VA Samuel Black is originally from Charleston, SC. Currently, he resides in Forest, VA with his wife Elena, an orthodontist, and their two children.
Following his education, Dr. All endodontists are dentists, but not every dentist is an endodontist! These dental specialists receive specialized training in endodontic procedures beyond dental school, and focus on the treatment of the dental pulp and the tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. The dental pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue inside a tooth. As an endodontist, Dr. Samuel Black specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries that affect the dental pulp, such as root canals, cracked teeth and dental trauma.
As an endodontic expert, Dr. At Gentle Endodontics in Lynchburg, VA, we combine expertise and compassion to provide patients of all ages with a comfortable and efficient treatment experience. Root canal therapy is used to treat a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth, and cleaning and sealing the root canals to prevent further infection.
Samuel Black is an expert in treating tooth infection and decay, and understands that many patients may be nervous about dental surgery. He aims to provide them with the tools and resources they need to undergo their procedure. When the tissue that connects the tongue to the roof of the mouth is abnormally thick or tight, it is known as a tongue-tie. Similarly, if the frenulum connecting the lips to the gums is too thick, it is known as a lip-tie. Tongue-ties and lip-ties can cause a variety of short-term and long-term issues for infants and children, such as difficulty breastfeeding, speaking, swallowing and more.
While tongue-ties and lip-ties are most common in children, they can occur in adults, too. Adults with tongue-ties and lip-ties may have had these conditions since birth, or they developed later in life due to an injury.
