Expert Endodontic Therapy to Save Your Tooth & End Pain
Severe, throbbing tooth pain is more than just an inconvenience; it's often a sign that the delicate inner nerve, or pulp, of your tooth is infected or inflamed. Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on treating issues inside the tooth. The goal of endodontic therapy in West New York, NJ, is to save your natural tooth, eliminate debilitating pain, and prevent the infection from spreading. At Veda Family Dentistry, we provide expert endodontic care with a gentle touch and modern techniques to restore your tooth's health and your comfort.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy: What It Is and Why It's Needed
The most common endodontic procedure is root canal therapy. This treatment becomes necessary when bacteria, often from deep decay or a crack, reach the pulp chamber and cause an infection. This infection is the source of the severe pain many patients experience. Left untreated, it can lead to a dental abscess, bone loss around the root, and the eventual loss of the tooth. A root canal is not the cause of pain; it is the solution that removes the infection and relieves the pain.
Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment
The body sends clear signals when a tooth's nerve is in trouble. It is crucial to seek treatment if you experience any of the following symptoms, as an infected tooth will not heal on its own:
A severe, persistent, or throbbing toothache that disrupts your day or sleep
Extreme and lingering sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Sharp pain when biting down, chewing, or even touching the tooth
Swollen, tender gums near a specific tooth
A discolored or darkened tooth
A recurring pimple-like bump (abscess) on the gums
The Modern, Comfortable Root Canal Process
Diagnosis & Anesthesia: We begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to confirm the presence of the infection. We then use adequate local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Cleaning the Canals: A small opening is made to access the inside of the tooth. The infected or inflamed pulp tissue is gently removed.
Disinfecting & Sealing: Using modern rotary instruments, we meticulously clean, disinfect, and shape the inner canals to ensure optimal health. The space is then filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent re-infection.
Final Restoration: After the procedure, the tooth is no longer vital and requires a permanent restoration to protect it from fracture. A custom, high-quality dental crown is typically placed to restore the tooth's full strength and function.
