Endodontics at Amherst Dentistry
Serving Endodontic Patients in East Amherst, NY
Endodontic treatment at Amherst Dentistry relieves dental pain and saves your teeth. During root canal treatment, the dentist will carefully remove the pulp inside of a tooth, clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal, and then place a filling to seal the space. It’s a simple procedure that will relieve tooth pain caused by infection. Here at Amherst Dentistry, we look forward to serving endodontic patients from East Amherst, Clarence, and Williamsville, NY, as well as the surrounding area.
What Are the Symptoms of an Infected Tooth?
When the root of a tooth becomes badly infected, it causes extreme pain. You’ll notice the pain when you bite down or chew. You may also have a painful sensation when you drink hot or cold liquids, which can linger for a time. Some patients in need of endodontic treatment have small, pimple-like bumps on their gums when they come in for their consultation. These are all common signs of a tooth with an infected root.
What Endodontic Procedures Do Our Dentists Provide?
While a sufficiently complex case may result in us referring you to a specialist, our dentists offer in-house root canal procedures and endodontic treatments such as:
- Root Canal Retreatment: For a variety of reasons, root canal treatment may occasionally be unsuccessful, at which point additional treatment becomes necessary.
- Root Canal Therapy: A root canal can restore an infected tooth to its natural function and appearance. Contrary to popular belief, the process is typically no more painful than filling a cavity.
