Root Canal Therapy

Want Relief From Tooth Pain? Root Canal Therapy Can Save Teeth, Relieve Pain, And Swelling

Our teeth have a chamber on the inside that contains the dental pulp, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissue. If the pulp gets infected or injured, due to a fracture, dental accident, decay, or cavities, Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, might be necessary.

Root Canal Treatment Process

Endodontic treatment is one of the commonly feared dental treatments, however, today’s dental technology, as well as our professional and experienced dentist at Jericho Dental can make the process as smooth, simple, and comfortable as can be.

First, Dr. Shah makes an opening into the chewing surface of the tooth, creating access to the pulp chamber. She then removes the infected pulp and cleans the space thoroughly, making sure that there’s no sign of infection left. The pulp chamber is then filled and sealed carefully so that there’s the minimum to no chance for the infection to reoccur. In most cases, a full-coverage dental restoration, such as a dental crown or dental onlays, has to be attached to the tooth to prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s shape, strength and function. The dental restoration also serves as prevention from future damage to the tooth.
