Root Canal Treatment in Harriman, NY
Root canal treatment is used to save an infected or severely damaged tooth. During the treatment, your dentist gently removes the inflamed or infected pulp inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the area, and seals it to prevent future issues. A crown is often placed to restore strength and function. Root canals are needed to relieve pain, stop infection, and protect your natural smile.
Thanks to modern techniques and advanced technology, the process is comfortable, efficient, and often completed in just one or two visits. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
