Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans and seals the canals to help preserve the tooth. At Trinity Dental Services in East Brunswick, NJ, Dr. Youstina Mantias, DDS can examine your tooth and explain whether root canal treatment, specialist care or extraction is appropriate.
Nervous patients can ask about sedation dentistry and the comfort options appropriate for their care.
Deep decay can allow bacteria to reach the pulp inside a tooth. Root canal treatment may remove the infected tissue and preserve a tooth that can be restored. If the tooth cannot be saved, your dentist will discuss extraction and replacement options.
A suspected tooth infection needs prompt dental assessment. Root canal treatment may preserve a restorable tooth; extraction may be necessary when the tooth cannot be saved.
After treatment, a filling or dental crown protects and restores the tooth. The choice depends on the tooth’s location, remaining structure and bite, rather than appointment timing alone.
Contact us about urgent dental care for pain or swelling. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling affecting the eye, requires immediate emergency medical care.
