Root Canal Queens New York NY

Root canal is a restorative dental procedure that is the best known and often most feared and misunderstood of all procedures. Our New York patients quickly find there is nothing to fear and the process is nearly pain free. The purpose of a root canal is to repair decay to the tooth while preserving the natural tooth. In fact, if the problem is ignored and not repaired, the result is the gradual death of the tooth.

The biggest reason patients avoid and postpone root canal is the fear of pain. The root canal procedure is imagined as painful, which adds to the fear and can cause people to avoid the dental chair until it becomes a dental emergency. However, at Gentle Dental in New York, NY, we offer a safe, effective and nearly pain free experience for our patients. Despite the negative press, root canal is effective for relieving even extreme pain that results when cavities invade the root pulp of the tooth.

At Gentle Dental in New York, we provide root canal treatment that is effective for repairing the problem with as little pain as possible, without the drill. Our Waterlase laser dentistry system ensures more precision in removing the pulp from the tooth and reduces anxiety in the patient. The final step in the treatment involves filling the tooth and sealing with a porcelain crown.

We provide a broad range of restorative dental procedures, including root canal, to our patients in New York, NY and surrounding areas. If you have tooth pain or have been told you need root canal, contact us to schedule an appointment.
