Root Canal Treatments
If the pulp of your tooth becomes infected, you will probably experience some discomfort if it is not treated. But the effects of that infection can reach beyond your tooth and even beyond your smile. If you are experiencing a problem with one of your teeth, call Dental Arts of Haddonfield at (856) 856-1402. Our team can schedule you for an appointment for a root canal treatment in Haddonfield, New Jersey, with our dentists, Dr. Carol Szargowicz and Dr. Shiv.
Root canal treatment is a form of endodontic therapy that can help save your smile from severe tooth infection or damage. This treatment is a common method designed to effectively target infection and eliminate the bacteria developing inside your tooth pulp. A tooth pulp infection can often be caused by cracks or cavities in the teeth that reach deep into the tooth and infect the pulp, leading to bone loss and even tooth loss. To help protect your teeth and spare the need for an extraction, our dentists may recommend that you receive a root canal treatment to preserve your smile.
Common symptoms that may necessitate root canal treatment include:
- Severe pain as you chew or bite
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Lasting sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swollen or tender gums
The treatment process for a root canal will begin first with the removal of the infected tooth pulp, followed by the cleaning and disinfection of the inside of your tooth. Once this process is completed, we will fill and seal your tooth to protect and strengthen it from further infection or decay.
