Advanced Root Canal Therapy Solutions
When a cavity goes untreated, bacteria can reach the tooth’s pulp and cause severe pain. Root canal therapy preserves the natural tooth by removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the area, and filling it with a special dental material to stop further infection. This procedure is widely performed in the United States—about 15 million times each year—and has a success rate of up to 98%.
You may need a root canal if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- High sensitivity to hot and cold food
- Deep pain in your tooth
- Swollen jaw
- Swollen gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Loose tooth
Don’t let fear keep you from getting the care you need. We use anesthesia to ensure a comfortable, pain-free procedure, and provide appropriate pain relief afterward. Most patients return to their normal routine within a day, and with good oral hygiene, the results can last a lifetime.
If you’re noticing signs of infection, schedule a visit with The Schiff & Moniz Dental Group for expert root canal therapy from Dr. Richard Titlebaum, one of Wyndmoor’s leading dental professionals.
