Root Canal Treatment 

🔬 Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic Therapy)

Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle, Precise Care | New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic

When a cavity, crack, or trauma reaches the inner nerve of your tooth, pain and infection can quickly follow. Rather than extracting the tooth, root canal treatment (also called endodontic therapy) allows us to clean, disinfect, and seal the tooth—preserving its natural function while eliminating discomfort.

At New York Dental Clinic, a leading Daegu dental clinic, we use microscope-assisted techniques and digital imaging to perform safe, accurate root canal procedures that relieve pain and restore your smile.



🦷 What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a non-surgical procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp (nerve tissue) from inside the tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the inner canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and sealed to prevent reinfection. A crown is usually placed afterward to protect the tooth from future damage.

Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful—modern techniques make the process comfortable and efficient, often completed in 1–2 visits.

✅ You May Need a Root Canal If:

• You have deep decay that has reached the tooth’s nerve
• Your tooth is cracked, fractured, or broken from trauma
• You experience severe, lingering toothache, especially to hot or cold
• Your tooth is darkened or discolored
• There is recurrent decay under old fillings or crowns
• You have swelling or pus near the gumline

At New York Dental, we use digital X-rays and pulp vitality tests to assess the severity and determine if root canal therapy is the best option.

🔍 Common Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

• Throbbing or radiating tooth pain
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Increased sensitivity to hot or cold
• Swollen or tender gums
• Pimple-like bumps (abscesses) on the gum
• Bad taste or odor from the affected tooth

These symptoms indicate possible pulp infection and should be treated promptly to avoid tooth loss or spread of infection.

🛠️ Our Root Canal Process at New York Dental Clinic

1. Diagnosis & 3D Imaging
   We assess the tooth using CBCT scans and digital X-rays to evaluate root shape and infection extent.
2. Local Anesthesia & Access
   The area is numbed for comfort, and a small opening is made to access the infected pulp.
3. Cleaning & Shaping
   Using microscope guidance, we remove the infected tissue and shape the canal system precisely.
4. Disinfection & Filling
   The cleaned canals are disinfected and filled with biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
5. Final Restoration (Crown)
   A crown is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore function and appearance.
