Root Canal Therapy – Save Your Natural Tooth
AmeriDental provides gentle and effective root canal therapy to eliminate tooth pain and infection while preserving your natural smile. Serving North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. By removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the inner chamber, and sealing the tooth, this treatment eliminates pain and saves the tooth from extraction.
Common Reasons for Root Canal Treatment:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- Deep decay that reaches the tooth pulp
- Cracked or fractured tooth
- Infection or abscess at the root
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
What to Expect During a Root Canal
- Diagnosis & Imaging: We evaluate the problem with digital X-rays and confirm the need for root canal therapy.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed completely to ensure a painless procedure.
- Pulp Removal: Infected or damaged tissue is removed from inside the tooth.
- Cleaning & Shaping: The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected thoroughly.
- Filling & Sealing: The space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration: A dental crown is often placed afterward to strengthen and protect the tooth.
With modern technology and gentle techniques, root canals today are quick, safe, and no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is root canal therapy painful?
A: No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is designed to relieve pain, not cause it.
Q: How long does it take?
A: Most root canals can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the severity of the infection and complexity of the tooth.
Q: Do I need a crown after a root canal?
A: In most cases, yes. A crown protects the tooth from future fracture and restores full function.
Q: Is root canal therapy better than extraction?
A: Yes. Saving your natural tooth is always the preferred option when possible, and root canal therapy makes that possible.
