Have you ever heard the phrase ‘I’d rather have a root canal’ to describe something painful or unpleasant? At The Dental Design Center – Ira J. Handschuh, D.D.S., we perform root canal (endodontic) therapy routinely for our patients, and many report no or minimal discomfort.
Root canal procedures have advanced significantly in recent years. For many root canal patients, the procedure is no more stressful than getting a filling.
If root canal therapy is necessary to preserve a tooth, we provide the most advanced endodontic treatment in New York.
How do you know if you need a root canal? You should speak with your dental professional immediately if you experience tenderness or pain, hot or cold sensitivity, tooth discoloration, tooth injury, gum swelling, gum pain, or lymph node tenderness or drainage. However, for some endodontic patients, there are no symptoms. That is why it is vital to visit your dentist regularly for a thorough dental examination and dental cleaning.
The Smile you deserve, the smile you desire is closer than you think!
