Endodontics & Root Canals
A root canal is a dental treatment to remove an infection that has caused the pulp (nerves and blood vessels) inside the tooth to become damaged or inflamed. A root canal is done to save the natural tooth; the alternative is to have the tooth extracted, which would leave a hole in your smile and could cause the surrounding to shift out of position.
Painless Root Canals with Anesthesia
It's a common question: Does a root canal hurt? The answer is no. Getting a root canal feels very similar to getting a filling. Most people are absolutely fine with just local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. However, Dr. Richard Marcus and our friendly team understand that some people are very nervous about root canals, have a severe gag reflex, or have a genuine fear of going to the dentist.
Periodontic Services
Periodontal disease, which is also called gum disease or periodontitis, is often painless with no obvious symptoms. Many people are shocked when they learn that the first stage of gum disease is gingivitis. If it's not treated, it can advance to periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease that is the leading cause of tooth loss in American adults and has been linked to diabetes and heart disease.
