What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal procedure—also called endodontic therapy—is a treatment used to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. It’s a safe, effective alternative to extraction and helps save your natural tooth.

What to expect during a root canal at our Queens dental office:

1. We numb the area with local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
2. A small opening is made to access the pulp chamber.
3. Infected tissue is removed using precision instruments.
4. The area is disinfected and filled with a material called a core build-up or fiber post.
5. Depending on the condition of your tooth, a dental crown may be placed to restore full strength and function.

Do I Need a Root Canal?

A root canal is recommended when a tooth has:

• A deep cavity
• Severe decay
• Infection reaching the pulp (nerve) of the tooth
• Pain that lingers or intensifies
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swelling or abscess near the tooth root

Our Queens dentists will assess your symptoms and dental X-rays to determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
