Root canal therapy is often referred to as root canal treatment or root canals. It involves removing the nerve and dental pulp of a tooth, removing decayed material, and filling and sealing the cavity left behind. This prevents progressive decay and saves you from tooth loss.
Dental root canals in NYC is necessary when the nerve and pulp of a tooth have become infected, irritated, or inflamed. This is most often caused by decay, cracked or broken teeth, trauma, or as a result of having multiple dental procedures on a single tooth, such as fillings and crowns.
Removing the nerve and pulp can keep a tooth healthy indefinitely. The nerve is responsible for sensing pain and changes in temperature. Once an adult tooth has broken through the gum and is fully formed, the nerve and the pulp around it are no longer needed for proper function.
You may need dental root canals in NYC if you are suffering from pain and sensitivity. Without treatment, a compromised root canal can cause bone density loss, an infection that spreads around your face or body, and swelling that starts in the gum and spreads to the face, neck, and head.
Take note of any symptoms you experience. Getting treatment for compromised dental root canals in NYC can save the tooth and prevent the need for a replacement implant, dental bridges, or dentures.
The most common symptoms experienced include:
If you have chipped or cracked teeth and experience these symptoms, then it’s likely that you need treatment for dental root canals in NYC.
Dental root canals in NYC are performed in-office at Dental Implant Center NYC. The process begins with x-ray scanning to determine the extent of infection and damage.
There’s a misconception that dental root canals in NYC are painful. The reality is that the procedure itself is quite comfortable, and the days following the procedure can be managed with medication like ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Any lingering pain and discomfort in the days following treatment will be minor compared to the pain from an infected tooth.
Dental root canals in NYC are restorative. The procedure will eliminate the infection from your tooth while addressing any damage at the top (chips, cracks, cavities, etc.) The result is permanent providing that you don’t suffer further damage to the tooth or develop an infection in any of the other teeth in your mouth.
This form of therapy is more intensive than a standard filling, but it can save your tooth for a lifetime providing that good oral health is maintained.
Dr. Spiro Condos and his caring team are standing by to treat and restore your infected tooth. Dental root canals in NYC will ensure that you have full use of a healthy tooth without worrying about progressive damage, pain, and the eventual need for extraction.
