What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been badly damaged due to decay, disease or injury. It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it. The name of the treatment comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth’s root. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is relatively painless and often leaves you with less discomfort during recovery than if you have your natural tooth extracted.
How Does the procedure work?
The Root Canal process starts with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the extent of damage to the tooth. The procedure itself typically involves several steps: First, we numb the area for your comfort. Then, we create an opening in the tooth to access the damaged pulp. We carefully remove the diseased pulp, clean the canals, and shape them for filling. Finally, we fill the canals with a biocompatible material and seal the tooth. In most cases, we recommend placing a crown on the tooth after the root canal to protect it and restore full functionality. Throughout the process, we use advanced techniques and technology to ensure precision and minimize discomfort, allowing you to get back to your busy New York life as quickly as possible.
