NavigationRoot canal therapy in Teaneck
A lot of people are afraid of root canals, but these days, with advances in dentistry, patient’s shouldn’t be nervous about having this procedure done. Root canals can be done in office and in as little as one to two visits at our Teaneck endodontics office. For the best in root canal therapy in as little time as possible, call Foundation Endodontics today.
Each tooth contains a sensitive inner pulp that provides nourishment to the surrounding tooth. If the pulp becomes diseased or infected due to bacteria and tooth decay, it can cause pain and throbbing, signalling the need for a Teaneck endodontics procedure. During a root canal, we get down into the pulp of the tooth, remove the infected portion, clean the area and then seal it back up. A crown is usually then placed over the tooth to protect the damaged area. If you are experiencing any symptoms that may indicate a root canal is needed, call our offices immediately. Symptoms of severe tooth decay include throbbing and swelling around the gum and cheek area, pain, sensitivity to hot and cold sensations, bleeding and facial pain. If not taken care of, an abscess can form, which can become very dangerous.
After your Teaneck endodontics procedure our dentist encourages good oral care techniques such as brushing, gargling and flossing in order to keep the mouth clean. Teeth survive in a clean and more sterile oral environment, so regular brushing to remove bacteria that promote decay is a must if you want to keep teeth healthy. After a root canal, we may check the root canal site from time to time just to make sure that the area is staying free of any gum or tooth decay and the crown is stable. For more information on how Foundation Endodontics can help you have the healthiest teeth possible, call us and speak with one of our staff on hand.
