Oakland Gardens Canal Therapy
Root canals relieve tooth pain and save your natural teeth.
We understand that root canals have a bit of a bad reputation. But at Expressway Dental, we provide gentle, comfortable root canals in Oakland Garden, NY. It's really not as scary as you might think!
About Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is necessary when the inner part of your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
Without treatment, the infection can spread, causing severe pain and even tooth loss. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further problems.
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy
Dr. Bral will make sure you're completely comfortable throughout the procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you won't feel any pain. You might feel some pressure, but it shouldn't be uncomfortable.
We'll create a small opening in the tooth to access the pulp chamber and canals. We'll then carefully remove the infected tissue, clean the area thoroughly, and seal the tooth.
After Your Root Canal
You might experience some mild sensitivity for a few days, but most people return to their normal activities the same day. We'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your tooth after the procedure.
In most cases, we'll recommend placing a crown on the tooth to protect it and restore its full function.
