Most general dentists, including Dr. Shteingart, handle routine root canals. When it comes to more complicated cases or retreatments of root canals, then specialists (endodontists) are often the preference.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
Some of the signs and symptoms that may indicate that you need root canal treatment are:
- A painful and constant toothache
- Tooth sensitivity to temperature
- Darkening or discoloration of your tooth
- Pain and tenderness when biting or chewing food
- A white pimple or blister on the gum tissue of the infected tooth
If you or a loved one is experiencing one or more of these symptoms, seeking treatment as soon as possible is important because a tooth infection won't resolve on its own. Instead, it worsens, progressing further into the tooth until it becomes unsalvagable and you need a tooth extraction.
Root canal treatment in Teaneck will eliminate discomfort and tooth infection, allowing you to keep your natural tooth. After the procedure, Dr. Shteingart will rebuild and strengthen your tooth with a permanent dental filling or crown. The restoration ensures you'll enjoy all the tooth functions you had before your infection.
