When infection or damage reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy may be necessary to save it. At Euro Dental Studio, our endodontist and team offer gentle, effective root canal therapy in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, to relieve pain and restore the function of your natural tooth.
Despite common misconceptions, root canal therapy is a straightforward and comfortable procedure that can prevent the need for tooth extraction. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure your visit is as stress-free as possible.
When Is Root Canal Therapy Needed?
A root canal is typically recommended when the soft tissue inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This may result from decay, trauma or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms that may indicate a need for treatment include:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- A recurring pimple on the gums
- Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to more serious oral health issues. Root canal therapy allows our endodontist to eliminate the source of infection and preserve your natural tooth structure.
Comfortable Care With Lasting Results
During root canal therapy, our endodontist will remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inner tooth and seal it with a protective filling. In most cases, a crown is placed afterward to restore full function and appearance.
Modern root canal therapy is highly successful and much more comfortable than in years past. Our use of precision tools and patient-focused care ensures that you are kept comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
After treatment, most patients experience relief from pain and return to normal activities within a day. By preserving your natural tooth, you maintain better alignment and avoid the complications of tooth loss or shifting teeth.
