Do you have a toothache, and more specifically pain when you chew or you apply pressure to the tooth? If so, you may need our Jackson Heights root canal. Other applicable symptoms are swelling, sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and food, tooth discoloration, and gum tenderness. At Best Care Family Dental, you are assured of expertly performed root canal therapy, with an excellent chance of saving your tooth.
Jackson Heights root canal
If your tooth becomes infected, there are only two treatment possibilities. One is to extract the tooth, which should be reserved for a last resort. When you lose the tooth, you have to go through the effort and expense to replace it. Furthermore, until you do then you are stuck with empty space instead of a tooth, the very real chance that your other teeth will shift and throw your jaws out of alignment, and potential difficulties chewing your food. It's far better to get our Jackson Heights root canal. The procedure is not scary, regardless of how it is portrayed in popular culture. You will be numbed with local anesthesia first. Then the tooth is drilled from the top, taking off about half. Our dentist removes the infected pulp and nerve, and then cleans and disinfects the canals before sealing them. The entire process of our Jackson Heights root canal may take more than one session, especially if there are multiple canals (not all teeth have the same quantity of them). A temporary crown is placed on the tooth to protect it between visits to our office. The healed tooth is then restored with a dental crown, making it strong and viable for a long time to come.
At the first sign of an infected tooth, be sure to call our office right away so that we can have you seen in a timely manner for examination, evaluation, and treatment.
