Staten Island Endodontics

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘I’d rather have a root canal’ to describe something painful or unpleasant? At Staten Island Dental Care, we perform root canal (endodontic) therapy routinely for our Staten Island dentistry patients and many report minimal discomfort. Staten Island root canal procedures have advanced significantly in recent years. For many root canal patients, the procedure is no worse than getting a filling from your Staten Island Dental Care general dentistry professional.

At Staten Island Dental Care, our goal is to help our root canal patients avoid the necessity of endodontic treatment by providing skilled dental care. However, if root canal therapy is necessary to preserve a tooth for one of our Staten Island patients, we provide the most advanced endodontics in the area.

How do you know if you need a root canal? See your Staten Island Dental Care dental professional immediately if you experience tenderness or tooth pain, hot or cold sensitivity, tooth discoloration, tooth injury, gum swelling, gum pain, or lymph node tenderness or drainage. However, for some Staten Island endodontic patients, there are no symptoms. That is why it is crucial to visit your local Staten Island family dentist regularly for a thorough dental examination.

Tooth Ache Pain The Size of Staten Island

Patients often come into our Staten Island New York dental practice and complain about ‘a toothache the size of Staten Island’. I understand this kind of pain, and realize that when you describe it like that, it really hurts. I can help.

Tooth ache pain for anyone in Staten Island can be unbearable. At the very least, toothache pain can cause you to avoid eating certain foods, certain temperatures, and even talking. Severe toothache pain can be downright debilitating, forcing patients to go to extreme measures to alleviate the pain.

Around Staten Island, the most common causes of a tooth ache include tooth infection, decay, injury, and loss of a tooth. Tooth pain can also occur after a tooth has been extracted, or after an oral surgery involving anything from a tooth or your jawbone.

I can help you better understand the source of your tooth ache pain, and in most cases can provide a nearly immediate remedy. In severe cases, we are equipped to council you on a variety of resolutions.

Of course, the best way to avoid tooth ache pain is to visit your Staten Island dentist often, and to care properly for your teeth including the regular regimen of brushing and flossing.

If you are experiencing tooth ache pain, and just can’t stand it any more, please give me a call; I am standing by to help.
