What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root Canal Therapy In Salem, MARoot canals are one of the most common dental procedures, performed well over 14 million times each year in the United States alone. This treatment is designed to help save your natural teeth and to keep you from needing dental implants or bridges in the future.

During root canal therapy, Dr. Casiglia will remove the living tissue inside your tooth, including the nerves, and excise any bacteria or decay. After this step is completed, we will clean out the chamber, treat it with a medicated material, and then fill it.

This treatment is designed to restore the previously damaged tooth to its full function, and usually lasts a lifetime!

Do I Need A Root Canal?

After a thorough examination, Dr. Casiglia may recommend a root canal if you’re experiencing:

  • Swelling and tenderness of your gums
  • Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
  • An abscess on your gums
  • Sharp pain when biting down or chewing

These signs can indicate that decay has reached the pulp of your tooth, resulting in infection or an abscess inside the tooth or at the root.

The CEREC Difference

Most practices have you wear a temporary crown and make you wait 2 weeks while an off-site lab creates your permanent crown. At Essex Street Dental Medicine, we use advanced CEREC technology to fabricate your crown on the very same day of your root canal!
