How Does Root Canal Treatment Save Your Natural Tooth?

It is common for individuals to have issues with their teeth. Often, the area becomes inflamed or infected, causing pain, and must be cleaned out thoroughly. A root canal is a procedure that allows the dentist to effectively remove infection and any debris and clean the inside of the tooth thoroughly. At Park Avenue Dental serving patients in New York, Dr. Mary Taudel has the expertise with root canal treatment that will help save your natural teeth and prevents you from having them removed.

Root Canal Treatment

In most cases, the root canal treatment saves the natural tooth and allows the patient to recover from infection with the tooth intact quickly. These cases are usually considered emergencies, so the dentist will work you in as soon as possible.

Upon examining the area and determining the severity of the infection, you and your dentist may decide to go ahead with the root canal procedure immediately. This process involves the dentist administering a local anesthetic to numb the area and then removing the infected pulp. The tooth is then disinfected and cleaned. Once the procedure is completed, the dentist will fill the tooth or place a crown over the tooth.

Once the filling or crown is in place, the patient can eat and speak as they would normally. This process is usually designed to last a lifetime and delivers excellent results that don’t require an implant or leave a space where teeth can begin to shift.
