Howard Cohen, DDS MS

Endodontics isn’t the kind of specialty most people think about until they need it—like when a deep cavity or cracked tooth sends them searching for a root canal specialist. Towson’s endodontic practice at 21 West Road #101 handles those urgent cases, along with retreatment for persistent infections, traumatic dental injuries, and surgeries like apicoectomies. The office sits just off York Road, a stretch of Towson where medical offices blend into the quieter edges of the business district, away from the bustle of the university but still central enough for patients coming from downtown or the county line. Google reviews suggest a pattern: the practice holds a 5.0 rating from 17 reviews, which, for a niche field where no one’s exactly thrilled to be there, says something about consistency.

Most referrals to an endodontist start with a general dentist’s recommendation, so having a local option simplifies what’s already a stressful process. Questions about insurance, recovery timelines, or whether that lingering toothache actually warrants a specialist? Those are best directed to the staff over the phone at (410) 321-1266. For first-time visitors, the map listing clarifies the suite number—because nothing’s worse than circling a medical plaza when you’re already in pain. Endodontic work isn’t the kind of thing anyone looks forward to, but at least the logistics here seem straightforward.
