With advanced techniques and a gentle touch, we aim to save your natural teeth and relieve your pain.
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on treating the soft inner tissue of the teeth, known as the pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue, which are crucial for a tooth’s growth and development. When this area becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and potentially lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Endodontic procedures aim to save the natural tooth and alleviate pain.
At GPS Dental, we offer the following endodontic treatments:
Root canal therapy is a common endodontic procedure used to treat infections in the tooth's pulp. During this procedure, Dr. Shah carefully removes the infected or inflamed pulp, cleans and shapes the root canal system, and then fills and seals the space. This treatment can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
A pulpotomy is often referred to as a "baby root canal" and is typically performed on primary (baby) teeth. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp chamber of the tooth while leaving the root canals intact. It's a less invasive alternative to a full root canal and is often used to save a badly decayed baby tooth.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or have been told you need a root canal, don’t hesitate to reach out to GPS Dental. Dr. Shah and our team are here to provide expert, compassionate endodontic care in Warren, NJ. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and take the first step towards a pain-free smile.
