Root Canal Treatment by Endodontic Specialists

Root canal therapy, sometimes referred to as endodontic treatment, is a well-established procedure engineered to address infection or inflammation deep within the tooth’s pulp chamber. If these conditions go unaddressed, they can escalate into significant pain, abscess development, and the possible loss of the tooth. By extracting the compromised tissue, meticulously debriding the canal system, and sealing the tooth against future contamination, our endodontists eliminate pain and safeguard your natural smile.

• Relief from Dental Pain: Targets and resolves the discomfort that results from infected or swollen pulp tissue.
• Keeping Your Natural Tooth: Preserves the original tooth structure, removing the need for extraction and replacement.
• Better Overall Oral Health: Stops infection from migrating to neighboring teeth and the surrounding gum tissue.
• Durable, Lasting Outcomes: A properly treated and restored tooth can serve you well for many years or even a lifetime.

Stay attentive to your dental health by watching for these telltale warning signs:

• Ongoing tooth pain or heightened sensitivity when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks.
• Swelling in the gums or a small, pimple-like lesion on the gum tissue near a specific tooth.
• Noticeable darkening or color change in a tooth.
• Lingering discomfort while biting down or when pressure is applied to the tooth.

If any of these symptoms are present, reach out to Shore Endodontics promptly to arrange a consultation. Call our Toms River office at 732-349-9222 or our Sea Girt office at 732-893-8600.

• Evaluation: Your endodontist begins with a detailed examination and advanced diagnostic imaging, including our Carestream CS8200 3D cone beam scanner, to determine the full scope of the issue.
• Comfort Preparation: Local anesthesia is carefully administered so you remain at ease from start to finish. Sedation options are also available.
• Pulp Removal and Canal Cleaning: The diseased pulp is precisely extracted using Zeiss microscope magnification, and each canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
• Canal Sealing: The treated canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to block bacteria and guard against reinfection.
• Final Restoration: Following the procedure, your referring dentist will typically place a crown on the treated tooth to restore its full strength and protection.
