From the moment your baby sprouts their first tooth to the day you celebrate your golden anniversary, maintaining a healthy smile is essential. Despite dental enamel being the hardest substance in the human body, teeth can still be vulnerable to decay and damage. At Central Park Dental Aesthetics, we're dedicated to helping our patients preserve their natural smiles with effective dental care.
Root canal therapy remains one of the most successful methods for saving a tooth that has been severely compromised by dental decay or injury. In fact, in the United States alone, root canals are performed almost 41,000 times daily and close to 15 million times per year. This procedure is preferred over tooth extraction because having a healthy natural dentition supports both oral health and overall well-being.
Our skilled dental professionals recommend a root canal when the inner tissues of a tooth, known as the dental pulp, become irreversibly damaged or infected due to an injury, deep dental decay, or advanced periodontal disease. While these tissues are crucial for a tooth's development and eruption into place, they aren't necessary once your tooth has fully emerged.
Rest assured that you'll receive the highest quality of care at our office. Patient comfort is our top priority, and with modern dental instruments and techniques, undergoing a non-surgical root canal procedure can be as comfortable as getting a routine dental filling.
At the office of Central Park Dental Aesthetics, we're committed to providing exceptional dental care. For more information on our services and how we can help you maintain a healthy, natural smile, give us a call today.
