Root Canals in Aston, PA

Man holding face in pain in need of root canal in 19014 For many people, it’s obvious when a root canal is needed. Tooth pain and sensitivity are among the most common symptoms, and for some people, the pain can be excruciating.

In some cases, patients might need an emergency root canal in Aston, PA if the pain is too severe to handle. If you are experiencing bad tooth pain, it could be a sign of a dental emergency. Contact our emergency dentist immediately if you need urgent care.

Whatever level of discomfort you’re experiencing, the problem is that the nerve in the tooth is infected and should be removed. During a root canal, Dr. Daniel Seger, DMD clears away the infection, which eliminates the pain and saves your tooth. Without treatment, the pain will worsen, and we will need to extract the tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Eliminate The Risk Of Further Infection

Without treatment, the infection can spread into the gums, travel to surrounding teeth, and cause other oral health problems. Root canal treatment eliminates the infected material before it further damages your oral health.

Why You Need a Root Canal

The outside of your teeth is a hard, protective layer called enamel. If decay penetrates the enamel, a cavity forms, but if we catch it quickly enough, a filling may be enough to restore the tooth to full health.

Without treatment, however, decay penetrates through the enamel and allows bacteria to enter the soft pulp inside your tooth causing an infection. Once this happens, it’s critical to remove the infected pulp and nerves to avoid losing the tooth

Diagram of tooth and root canal at Aston PA Dentist Office At The Dental Health Center in Aston, PA, we streamline your root canal treatment by using state-of-the-art rotary endodontic technology that offers more precision, comfort, and reliable results than traditional manual tools.

Dr. Seger starts by making a small hole in the back of your tooth that allows him to remove the infected pulp and disinfect the area. Next, he fills the inside of the tooth and seals it with a temporary filling. In most cases, we recommend a crown to strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure. As long as there are enough healthy teeth left, a root canal is always better than extraction.
