Advanced Root Canal Therapy Solutions
If a tooth cavity is not treated promptly, bacteria can penetrate the tooth's pulp, causing significant pain. Root canal therapy is essential in saving the tooth by cleaning and disinfecting the infected pulp before filling it with dental material to prevent further infection. This procedure is common in the United States, with approximately 15 million root canal treatments performed annually and a success rate of up to 98%.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to schedule an appointment for root canal therapy:
- High sensitivity to hot and cold food
- Deep pain in your tooth
- Swollen jaw
- Swollen gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Loose tooth
Don't let the fear of pain stop you from getting a root canal treatment. We use anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure, and provide pain relievers afterwards. You can resume your daily activities within a day, and with proper oral care, your root canal treatment can last a lifetime. If you are experiencing symptoms of a root canal infection, schedule an appointment with The Schiff & Moniz Dental Group to receive top-notch root canal therapy and oral care from Dr. Richard Titlebaum, one of the best dentists in Pennsylvania.
