At Lawrence Kotler Endodontics, we understand how important it is to preserve your natural teeth while alleviating discomfort. Root canal therapy is an essential procedure designed to save teeth that are severely damaged or infected. Dr. Lawrence Kotler, is committed to ensuring that this treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures or a crack in the tooth, it can cause significant pain and sensitivity. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, involves removing the affected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the inside of the tooth and then sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure not only alleviates pain but also helps maintain your tooth’s functionality and appearance.
During your visit, our endodontist will take the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. Using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology, we make sure your root canal therapy is performed with precision and care.
