Root Canal Therapy
Are you experiencing tooth pain that just won’t go away? Washington Square Dental is here to help. Our team of dental experts includes root canal specialists who are trained to diagnose and treat the cause of your pain. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible, while delivering high-quality care that will put an end to your toothaches. So if you need root canal therapy, trust the team at Washington Square Dental to provide the compassionate and skilled care you deserve.
Root canal therapy is an endodontic treatment that aims to address infections or damage within the tooth’s pulp. The dental pulp, located beneath the hard enamel of the tooth, contains vital nerves and blood vessels to support oral health. Inflammation or infection can occur due to deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. This can result in sharp pain or further infection into the roots of the tooth.
During a root canal, our experienced team will remove the infected pulp, thoroughly clean the area, and seal the tooth to prevent future problems. Our primary goal is to provide pain relief and preserve your natural tooth, avoiding the need for dental extraction. By eliminating infected tissue and sealing the affected area, we can prolong the life of your tooth and maintain a healthy, complete smile.
Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure that Washington Square Dental performs with great care. Root canal procedures are designed to alleviate discomfort caused by infections within the tooth and provide lasting relief for your dental health.
So, when do you know if you need a root canal? There are a few symptoms to look out for:
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is best to reach out to Washington Square Dental to schedule a consultation with one of their friendly and knowledgeable dentists. They will work with you to determine if root canal therapy is the best plan of action for your individual case.
We understand that the idea of a root canal may seem daunting, but rest assured, we strive to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. During the procedure, we’ll gently remove the damaged or decayed pulp from within your tooth through a small access hole. The area is then thoroughly disinfected. To protect against future infection, we’ll then carefully fill the inner cavity with a durable, rubber-like material. Finally, we’ll seal the treated area and place a dental crown on top, safeguarding your tooth from further damage or decay.
Our root canal treatment typically requires one to two office visits, with the duration varying based on the severity of your case. Trust in our commitment to professionalism and excellence as we restore your dental health.
Concerns about root canal pain are the largest motivator for putting off essential endodontic treatment. Fortunately, with the aid of local anesthesia and sedation dentistry, a root canal procedure can be no more uncomfortable than a typical dental filling.
There may be some lingering discomfort after a root canal treatment, and we’ll help provide instructions to keep pain to a minimum. Over-the-counter medication and rest for the next 24 hours will help keep you comfortable during recovery from root canal treatment.
We believe that root canal therapy shouldn’t be a scary experience. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache or an infected tooth, we’re here to help you elevate your oral health and get back to smiling with confidence. With our state-of-the-art technology and personalized approach, you can trust that you’re in good hands with us. Schedule an appointment with Washington Square Dental today and let us help you on your journey towards a healthier, happier smile.
