Dentist in Great Neck
If you have a tooth that is painful when you eat something that is hot or cold, you may have a tooth that has infected or damaged pulp in its interior. If this is the case, you will need to have a root canal treatment. At Great Neck Natural Smiles, our
dentist in Great Neck, Dr. Howard K. Baylarian, can provide you with root canal treatment to save the tooth, while you remain perfectly comfortable due to our state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, and our use of modern dental anesthesia.
A root canal treatment is needed when the pulp that is located in the center of the tooth is damaged or infected. Since the tooth no longer needs this pulp, it can be removed, and the tooth will remain perfectly able to stay healthy and intact in your mouth. However, if a tooth has infected or damaged pulp and it is not treated, the tooth will eventually fall out on its own. For these reasons, it is very important to visit our dental practice whenever you are experiencing any type of dental pain. The sooner a root canal procedure is performed, the more likely it is that it will be effective. Happily, root canal treatments are now able to save teeth in over 90% of cases. Our dentist in Great Neck will assess your individual situation and let you know whether or not your tooth should be able to be saved with a root canal treatment. Our dentist will also let you know whether the root canal treatment will be performed in one or two office visits. After your tooth has successfully healed from root canal treatment, there is no reason why the tooth will not be able to remain intact in your mouth for as long as any other tooth.
For an appointment to visit with our
dentist in Great Neck, simply contact our office today.
