Root Canal Treatment

Are you experiencing tooth pain and searching for an experienced Bay Ridge dentist to perform gentle, effective root canal treatment? Sometimes the nerve inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack or chip in the tooth. The signs are often impossible to ignore – persistent pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, and sometimes a pimple-like bump on the gums.

Despite its reputation, root canal treatment is actually a comfortable, tooth-saving procedure that relieves pain rather than causing it. The goal is to remove the infected nerve tissue, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future infection. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to abscess formation and eventual tooth loss.

At Bay Ridge Dental Group, we use advanced techniques and gentle numbing to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. We take digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection, and we use rotary instruments that make the treatment faster and more precise than traditional methods. Once the root canal is complete, we restore your tooth with a custom crown to protect it and restore full function.

In many cases, a root canal can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted – preserving your natural smile and avoiding the need for more costly replacement options. And if you’re worried about discomfort, we offer pain-free injection techniques and sedation options to help you relax.
