Endodontics
Endodontics in SoHo
When you’re in pain, especially if it’s tooth pain, everything stops until you can find someone to help. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, and you can’t talk without discomfort! You shouldn’t have to live like that. At Greene Street Dental, our dentists have experience in endodontic procedures that can get you out of pain and out of danger.
We treat decayed and infected teeth at our office in SoHo. Allow our team to diagnose and treat your condition with advanced technology and expert care.
What Does an Endodontic Dentist Do?
Endodontic dentists go a little deeper than surface level when it comes to treating cavities. The soft center of the tooth, the pulp, can get infected if decay is able to penetrate the dentin and affect the inner tissues and nerves.
Infected teeth cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Severe pain and sensitivity
- Swelling and difficulty swallowing
- Excessive bleeding and salty, foul-smelling liquid
If infection has advanced to this degree, the best treatment is generally to remove the infected tissue and replace it with a dense filling material (a pulpectomy and root canal). Don’t wait to see a dentist with these symptoms. Our emergency dentist can perform a same-day root canal and prescribe medication to help you recover as painlessly as possible.
How We Use Advanced Technology to Treat Patients
X-rays have been a staple in dentistry for many years, and that’s not going to change any time soon. Taking X-rays helps our dentists see inside the tooth to make sure all areas of infection and decay have been treated during a root canal. Now, we have a tool that can help us diagnose and treat problems in addition to an X-ray.
The iTero intraoral scanner gives dentists an up-close look at your teeth and gums using lasers and a high-resolution camera. With absolutely zero radiation, we can detect issues with your teeth and gums that will inform our treatment plan. Once your tooth has been treated or extracted, we can also use our scans to design a custom-fitted dental crown or restoration.
