Root Canals
The Best Root Canal Treatments in Brookhaven
Root canal treatment here at Brookhaven Dental Associates is used to treat the pulp, the nerve tissue inside your tooth. Your dentist or endodontist may perform root canal therapy when you have a fractured or infected tooth, or when you need a root canal because of deep decay.
The pulp in teeth cannot be repaired like other parts of your body can, so in order to prevent infection and relieve pain in an inflamed or damaged pulp, it must be removed.

The Best Root Canal Treatments in Brookhaven
​
Root canal treatment at Brookhaven Dental Associates addresses the tooth's pulp, the sensitive nerve tissue within. It is recommended when deep decay, a fracture, or an infection affects the pulp and requires removal to prevent further damage or infection.
​
Unlike other body tissues, the pulp cannot heal itself. Hence, root canal treatment is key for relieving pain and saving the tooth.
​
Understanding Root Canal Treatment
​
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure focused on treating damage or infection within a tooth’s pulp, the innermost soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels. This process involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the interior of the tooth, and filling the space to prevent any re-entry of bacteria or debris.
​
Typically completed with a protective crown, a root canal addresses issues deep within the tooth structure, targeting the source of infection or decay while maintaining the outer tooth. The treatment preserves the tooth’s stability and appearance without removing it from the mouth.
​
Why Root Canal Treatment is Necessary?
​
When the tooth pulp becomes damaged or inflamed, it often leads to severe pain and can cause an infection that impacts both oral and overall health. Root canal therapy addresses this by removing the inflamed or infected pulp, which not only relieves pain but also reduces inflammation and stops the infection from progressing.
​
By preserving the natural tooth structure, the procedure promotes stability in your bite and supports overall dental function. Additionally, root canal therapy helps maintain your natural smile and prevents the need for more extensive dental work. This offers a straightforward solution to restore dental health.
