Root Canal Therapy Philadelphia, PA

Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment to save a tooth that has been damaged or infected due to decay or injury. At Rhawnhurst Family Dentistry, we understand that many patients feel anxious about this procedure, but we strive to make it as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Our experienced dentist, Dr. Akshay Dhall, is committed to providing quality care and ensuring patients feel at ease during every step of the treatment.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure that treats the inside of a tooth when the pulp, or soft tissue, becomes infected or inflamed. This inflammation can be caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, cracks, chips or injury. If left untreated, an infection can spread, causing further damage and even leading to the need for extraction.

During the procedure:

• The infected pulp is carefully removed.
• The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
• The tooth is then filled with a special material to restore its function and health.

We take special care to ensure the procedure is as gentle as possible, using advanced techniques and technology to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery time.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Choosing root canal therapy offers several important benefits, including:

• Preserving your natural tooth: The procedure saves the tooth, preventing the need for an extraction.
• Relieving pain: Infected teeth can cause significant discomfort. This treatment eliminates the infection, providing relief.
• Restoring dental function: After a successful procedure, you can chew, speak and smile normally again.
• Preventing further issues: Root canal therapy helps prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.
