Tooth pain can interfere with daily life, making it difficult to eat, speak and focus. When a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, root canal therapy can relieve pain and save the tooth from extraction. At East Coast Family Dentistry, Dr. Maria Sese and Dr. Nhat Nguyen provide gentle, effective root canal treatments to restore oral health and comfort.

Why a Root Canal May Be Necessary

The inside of each tooth contains soft tissue called the pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp due to deep decay, cracks or trauma, it can cause infection and severe discomfort. Without treatment, this infection can lead to:

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Swelling around the affected area
  • Gum abscesses or pus formation
  • Jawbone deterioration
  • Tooth loss or the need for extraction

Root canal therapy removes the infection while preserving the natural tooth, preventing the need for more extensive dental work in the future.

 

Preserving Your Natural Smile

Many people associate root canals with pain, but the truth is that this procedure is designed to relieve discomfort. With modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients feel little to no pain during treatment. Saving a tooth through root canal therapy helps:

  • Maintain natural tooth structure and function
  • Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting
  • Reduce the risk of jawbone loss
  • Restore comfortable chewing and speaking
  • Eliminate the need for a tooth replacement

By keeping your natural tooth intact, root canal therapy supports long-term oral health and a confident smile.
