Dr. Kyle Purvis, DMD, Bridge Street Dental Center, New Cumberland, PA

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure performed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves removing the infected or inflamed dental pulp from the tooth’s interior, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent future infection.

During root canal therapy, the dentist numbs the area with local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. They then create a small access opening to remove the diseased pulp and carefully clean the root canals. Once the canals are thoroughly disinfected, they are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent bacteria from re-entering.

Root canal therapy is a highly successful procedure that relieves pain, eliminates infection, and allows you to preserve your natural tooth. With advancements in techniques and technology, root canal treatments can often be completed in a single visit, offering efficient and effective results.

At Bridge Street Dental Center, our experienced dental professionals are skilled in performing root canal therapy. We prioritize patient comfort, utilizing advanced techniques and providing appropriate pain management. If you require root canal therapy, contact us to schedule a consultation and receive expert care tailored to your needs.

I recently had my first appointment at Bridge Street Dental Center and had such a positive experience. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Michelle, my hygienist, was incredibly kind and thorough and made the cleaning comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Purvis was equally wonderful! He was personable, took his time during the exam, and clearly explained everything he reviewed. Tammy and Jenn completed the experience by making checkout and scheduling my next appointment quick and easy. I highly recommend the Bridge Street team for all your dental needs!
