What is Root Canal Therapy? 

Root canal treatment removes the decayed inner tissue from the inner chambers of teeth, including the canals within the roots. When a cavity is left untreated, dental pulp can become severely infected and cause pain and discomfort. Drs. Nicholas and John Civillico provide root canal treatment to save the tooth and remove this tissue before the infection can cause tooth loss or create bodily health problems. As a conservative alternative to tooth extraction, root canal treatment restores the integrity and health of weakened teeth. 

Some signs and symptoms for root canal treatment include:

- Toothache or pain
- Sensitivity to temperature
- Swelling or tenderness at the root or jaw
- An abscess on the gums

Dental pulp can become infected by both untreated cavities and major chips or cracks in the tooth’s enamel, which would give decay-causing bacteria access to the inner tissue directly.  Be sure to contact your Drexel Hill dentists to ensure your smile is healthy all year round, as the need for root canal treatment can be prevented with routine visits and treatments of small cavities and decay.

Our father-son duo at Civillico Family Dentistry provides root canal treatments with your comfort in mind. Root canal therapy resolves discomfort you may feel by removing the cause of the pain: infected dental pulp. We provide this treatment with local anesthetics and nitrous oxide, as we understand that patients’ may be anxious about this procedure. 

In order to ensure that the newly treated tooth is fully protected, we provide aesthetic crowns that look and feel like natural teeth at the end of root canal treatment.
