Many NJ dread the idea of going to the dentist knowing they may need
a root canal. Their unkempt oral hygiene can affect their confidence to
smile. Some of these residents seeking a more dazzling smile have
turned to one of the area’s experts in root canals, Dr. Sultan Sherzoy
in Bergen County. For nearly 20 years, Dr. Sherzoy is known to be a
talented cosmetic dentist who has helped patients achieve their ideal
smile.
A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a
tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal
procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth
is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the
tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
According to
the American Association of Endodontists, the perception of root canals
being painful began decades ago when root canal treatments were
painful. Today, with modern technology and better anesthetics, root
canal treatments are no more painful than having a filling. Knowing
what to expect while having a root canal can help ease a lot of anxiety.
It
is better to keep your natural teeth if at all possible. If a tooth is
missing, neighboring teeth can drift out of line and can be
overstressed. Keeping your natural teeth also helps you to avoid more
expensive and extensive treatments, such as implants or bridges. If an
infected or injured tooth that needs root canal treatment is ignored,
not only can you lose the tooth, but also the infection can spread to
other parts of your body. Having endodontic treatment on a tooth does
not mean that you’ll need to have it pulled out in a few years. The
reason for doing root canal treatment is often a large cavity. The
tooth often is weakened, but if the tooth is covered with a crown after
the root canal or, in some cases, restored with tooth-colored composite
filling material, the tooth can last the rest of your life.
Dr.
Sherzoy agrees, “Throughout your root canal treatment, you may have
questions or concerns. We will make every effort to ensure you comfort
during root canal treatment. And we’re happy to answer any questions
you may have. Our goal is to help you preserve your natural teeth for a
lifetime, so you can smile with confidence.”
