How Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Smile

Root canal therapy is probably the most misunderstood dental treatment. It's usually associated with pain and trauma, but the truth is thatRoot_Canal it's not painful, and actually really similar to getting a dental filling. It's also an invaluable tool for saving a badly damaged or decayed tooth from possible extraction and long term damage to your oral health. Our dentists Dr. Nainesh Desai, Dr. Warren Lorch, and the dental team at Central Jersey Dental Arts offer cosmetic and general dentistry services in Piscataway, NJ.

Root Canal Therapy in Piscataway, NJ

When bacteria gets inside a tooth it can cause inflammation and infection to the pulp tissue, the network of nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissue in every tooth. A root canal procedure cleans the inside of the tooth and removes damaged nerve tissue to restore the tooth back to health.

You'll receive a local anesthetic to numb your gums and keep you comfortable during the procedure. The dentist will clean out the root canal to get rid of any traces of bacteria and infection, and remove the damaged tissue before sealing the tooth.

When is a Root Canal Necessary?

You can't tell just by looking at a tooth that it needs a root canal. The most common sign that a tooth is infected and needs immediate attention is pain. If you have a toothache that lasts more than a few days, schedule an appointment for a dental exam as soon as possible. Other signs that you might need a root canal are swelling, extreme sensitivity to hot and cold food and drinks, and dark stains on the tooth.
