While the thought of having a root canal procedure usually fills patients with dread, the procedure is a necessary one for those whose teeth become infected in the nerves. Besides causing pain, infections, if left untreated, can become abscesses, which are much more serious and result in a loss of bone mass in the jawbone. Dr. Nina Kiani can relieve your pain with root canal procedures in New York, NY
Although root canals may not sound pleasant to you, they are well worth it to stop your pain and improve your oral health. While there is some soreness after the procedure, it is only temporary and usually nothing that over-the-counter painkillers cannot take care of.
During a root canal, Dr. Kiani will remove the infection by applying a local anesthetic to the area and drilling into the tooth to create an opening in the canal. Then she is able to remove the infected tissue and clean the area. Once the infection has been removed, your tooth will be filled with a sealant and then fitted with a crown to protect it from infection in the future. The crown also helps improve the appearance and strength of the tooth. Once the procedure is complete and soreness subsides, you will be able to eat without experiencing pain and sensitivity to heat, cold and pressure.
