Dr. Alexander Gerskowitz, Dr. Sandi Grace and Dr. Miriam Natovich offer professional and compassionate care to ensure the health and longevity of your smile.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy involves removing infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. The interior of the tooth, known as the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels essential to tooth development. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause severe pain or lead to abscess formation if untreated. During a root canal procedure, our dentist and team carefully clean the tooth, remove the infected tissue and seal the space to prevent further damage.
Key benefits of root canal therapy include:
- Relief from tooth pain caused by infection.
- Prevention of tooth extraction.
- Restoration of chewing and biting function.
- Preservation of your natural smile.
Our advanced technology and precise techniques ensure a comfortable experience and effective treatment for all patients.
ÂThe Recovery Process
After root canal therapy, patients can expect a smooth recovery with proper care. Most individuals experience mild discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
To aid in recovery:
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until a permanent crown is placed.
- Practice excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
- Attend follow-up visits to ensure the treated tooth is healing properly.
We are dedicated to providing clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support to promote your recovery.
