Making Root Canals More Comfortable Than Ever
Does the thought of a root canal make you dread going to the dentist? Let us put your fears to rest. Modern root canal therapy is so comfortable that many patients take a nap during the procedure!
A tooth’s pulp, or nerve, contains canals within the root. When these canals are damaged by decay, disease, or trauma, the tooth will ultimately die. Infection can set in and cause pain. Because the tooth's nerve is connected to the nervous system, infection can spread quickly, creating further complications. In some cases, Dr. Shahriar can eradicate the infection by performing a root canal, a conservative treatment to save a tooth from extraction and the ensuing health problems associated with missing teeth.
Call Newton Dental Group to schedule your root canal appointment with Dr. Shahriar. Our conveniently located office serves residents of Newton, Boston, Cambridge, Waltham, Watertown, and surrounding areas.
