Experiencing severe pain or sensitivity? Root canal therapy removes infected pulp inside the tooth, cleans the canals, and seals them to eliminate bacteria and preserve the natural tooth. This endodontic treatment relieves discomfort, stops abscesses, and avoids extraction – restoring function with a crown for protection.

Why Root Canal Beats Extraction

Saving the tooth maintains bite alignment, jawbone integrity, and aesthetics without gaps or replacements. It’s less invasive long-term, with high success rates (over 95%) – preventing spread of infection to other areas while allowing normal eating post-recovery.

Who Qualifies for a Root Canal?

Patients with deep decay, trauma, or repeated fillings causing pulp inflammation are candidates, confirmed by symptoms and X-rays. Healthy overall structure is key. At OxyDental Noho, we’ll assess during your urgent visit to determine if root canal suits you.

The Root Canal Procedure Step by Step

Under anesthesia, we access the pulp, remove infected tissue with files, disinfect, and fill with biocompatible material. A temporary filling follows, with a permanent crown later – often done in 1 to 2 visits, each 60 to 90 minutes.

What Recovery Entails

Post-procedure soreness lasts a few days, managed with pain relievers and soft foods. Avoid chewing on the tooth until crowned; full healing occurs quickly, with minimal complications when followed up.

Benefits for Tooth Preservation

Root canals eliminate pain, protect neighboring teeth from strain, and support facial structure. Patients regain comfort, avoid dentures or implants, and enjoy a natural feel – extending tooth life significantly.
