Restore Comfort and Preserve Your Natural Teeth
When the pulp inside a tooth becomes damaged or infected, it often results in severe tooth sensitivity, especially to hot and cold foods. You may also feel sharp pain when biting or chewing, making everyday activities uncomfortable. If untreated, the infection can spread, leading to more significant issues such as abscesses, bone loss, or even tooth loss.
Untreated pulp damage can also affect overall oral health beyond the discomfort. Thankfully, Diamond District Dental Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers comfortable and effective Root Canal Therapy NYC to address these concerns and help you preserve your natural tooth. If you currently suffer from tooth pain, visit our office to learn how our endodontic specialists can help you!
What is Endodontics and How Can it Help?
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the dental pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth. Endodontic procedures, like root canal treatment, preserve your natural tooth and restore function by removing infected or damaged tissue. Root canals, the most common endodontic procedure, alleviate pain and prevent further damage.
This form of treatment helps ensure you can chew, bite, and speak without discomfort while avoiding more invasive options like tooth extraction. In the hands of our experienced root canal specialist, endodontic care is safe, effective, and designed to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Treatment Options for Damaged Teeth
A root canal involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent future infections. This is a straightforward and highly effective way to relieve pain and save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. Root canals allow our patients to maintain their teeth and prevent larger complications in the future.
Sometimes, even after root canal treatment, infections may persist at the tip of the tooth’s root. An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure where the end of the root is removed and sealed, effectively treating any lingering infection and preserving the tooth. An apicoectomy may be recommended if a previous root canal therapy failed or is not an option.
If a tooth that has already undergone a root canal becomes infected again, root canal retreatment may be necessary. During this procedure, the original filling is removed, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned again, and a new filling is placed to eradicate the infection entirely. Just because a root canal-treated tooth might be failing, it doesn’t mean it can’t be saved with retreatment.
