Contact our dental team to learn more about a root canal in New Brunswick and Union, New Jersey.
Root canal treatment, often referred to simply as a root canal, is a common procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged deep inside. When decay or injury penetrates through the outer enamel and reaches the pulp — the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — it can lead to severe pain and infection. If left untreated, this condition can cause the tooth to die and may ultimately require extraction.
To prevent this and restore your tooth to health, our experienced dentist will perform a root canal. During the procedure, the infected or injured tissue is carefully removed from within the tooth. The inside of the tooth is then meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria. After this, the tooth is filled with a special medicated material to seal it and prevent future infections. To complete the treatment and restore the tooth’s full function and appearance, a dental crown is placed over it. This not only protects the tooth but also allows you to chew and smile with confidence.
Despite its daunting reputation, root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled, thanks to modern techniques and anesthesia. Our team is dedicated to making your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We utilize advanced tools and approaches to ensure you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
