If you need root canal treatment in Troy, NY, it means you have an infection deep in your tooth canal. This is the place housing the nerves and pulp, which is why the infection can be excruciating without treatment.
Because Infections are opportunistic and can spread to other teeth and tissues, it’s crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid risking oral and physical health.
I am a family dentist in Troy, NY, and I am happy to offer same-day emergency treatment whenever possible.
About Root Canal Treatment | Troy NY
Root canal infections may start as tooth sensitivity, but this pain can increase throughout the day, leaving you with severe toothache and jaw swelling. Contacting my dental office immediately is vital to prevent tooth loss or damage to surrounding tissues. A root canal treatment is the best option to preserve your oral health.
Root canal treatment involves numbing the area around the tooth and gently extracting the infected material. I irrigate the canal and seal it temporarily. In a week or two, you return to my dental office for a restoration.
Typically, I recommend a custom dental crown to restabilize the tooth. However, if the infection is minor and the tooth is still viable, I may use tooth-colored fillings instead.
Lowering Your Root Infection Risks
To lower your risks for root infections, tooth decay, and gum disease, visit my office twice yearly for checkups and teeth cleanings. You should also adopt an excellent oral care routine at home and never go to bed with debris on your teeth!
