End Tooth Pain and Save Your Smile
The phrase "root canal" can cause anxiety, but the truth is, modern root canal therapy is not the source of pain; it's the solution to it. If you're suffering from a severe, persistent toothache, this tooth-saving procedure is one of the most effective ways to find lasting relief. At Veda Family Dentistry, Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi specialize in providing gentle and effective root canal therapy for our patients in West New York, NJ. Our goal is to eliminate your pain, save your natural tooth, and restore your oral health with compassionate, expert care.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Root canal therapy is needed when the soft tissue inside your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed. Deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma can cause this. Ignoring these signs can lead to a painful abscess or tooth loss.
Contact us immediately if you're experiencing any of these symptoms:
Severe and persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers.
Swollen or tender gums near the painful tooth.
A recurring pimple-like bump on your gums.
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
A Modern, Gentle Root Canal Process
Thanks to modern technology and advanced anesthetics, the root canal process is similar in comfort to getting a routine filling. Dr. Priya and Dr. Moosavi will ensure you are completely comfortable from start to finish.
Diagnosis and Numbing: We'll start with an X-ray to confirm the infection. Then, the area is completely numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure.
Cleaning the Canal: A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This seals the tooth from the inside, preventing reinfection.
Final Restoration: A temporary filling is placed. In a follow-up visit, a permanent, custom-made dental crown is placed over the tooth. This restores its strength, function, and natural appearance.
The Benefits of Saving Your Natural Tooth
When faced with an infected tooth, some people consider extraction as a treatment option. However, saving your natural tooth with root canal therapy is almost always the best option. The benefits include:
Immediate Pain Relief: It eliminates the infection, which is the source of your pain.
Preserves Your Smile: It allows you to keep your natural tooth, preventing the shifting of other teeth and maintaining your natural bite.
Cost-Effective: It is typically less expensive than tooth extraction followed by a dental implant or bridge.
Aesthetically Pleasing: The final crown is crafted to look and feel just like your other teeth.
