Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment designed to remove infection, relieve pain and preserve the natural tooth. Our dentists and team provide root canal therapy in Montgomery, New Jersey, to help patients restore their oral health and maintain their smiles.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a procedure that treats infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria enter the pulp due to deep decay, cracks or trauma, it can cause significant pain and lead to further complications if left untreated.
Dr. Joyce Ma performs root canal therapy to remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the inner tooth and seal it with a protective filling. This process eliminates discomfort while preserving the natural structure of the tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Patients experiencing any of the following symptoms may require root canal therapy:
- Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of the affected tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums near the tooth
Early treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading and causing further damage.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy provides several advantages, including:
- Pain Relief: Eliminates infection and discomfort
- Tooth Preservation: Saves the natural tooth from extraction
- Restored Function: Allows normal biting and chewing
- Improved Oral Health: Prevents infection from spreading to other teeth
- Aesthetic Benefits: A crown placed after treatment restores the tooth’s appearance
