At Steven L Rattner, DDS, PA & Associates, preserving your natural teeth is a priority. When a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, root canal treatment can often save it, allowing you to maintain your smile and oral health. We provide compassionate and expert care to guide you through the process.
Root canal treatment involves carefully removing the infected or damaged tissue from within the tooth. This allows us to relieve pain and prevent further damage while retaining your natural tooth structure. Our team uses advanced techniques and tools to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
Your comfort and wellbeing are always our top priorities. The root canal treatment begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Steven L. Rattner, where we assess the condition of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues. If root canal therapy is necessary, the procedure will be explained in detail, ensuring you understand each step.
- Numbing the area: We use local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- Cleaning the tooth: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- Sealing the tooth: After cleaning, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
