Root Canals
Root canal therapy is a dental treatment designed to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. If you experience persistent, intense tooth pain—especially when chewing or applying pressure—you may need root canal therapy in Albany, New York. This pain often indicates infection or inflammation of the dental pulp, the innermost part of the tooth that houses nerves and blood vessels. Common causes for requiring a root canal include deep tooth decay, trauma, cracked teeth, or multiple dental procedures on the same tooth.
Contact UsThe Root Canal Therapy Procedure
Root canal therapy begins with X-rays to determine the extent of the infection. Dr. Srinivas Iragavarapu then removes the infected pulp, thoroughly cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. In many cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
The main advantage of root canal therapy is saving your natural tooth. By removing infection and sealing the tooth, you avoid extraction and the related issues such as shifting teeth and chewing difficulties. Root canals also relieve severe dental pain, helping you regain comfort and confidence in your smile.
