Contact UsWhat is root canal therapy?
Broken or decayed teeth are generally corrected with a filling or a different form of treatment if they are identified and dealt with in time. Nevertheless, when the decay reaches the middle of the tooth (also known as the pulp), root canal therapy is possibly needed to restore oral function and prevent extraction. A root canal is an endodontic therapy provided at Madison Avenue Dentists to extract diseased pulp tissue and seal off the compromised tooth to enhance oral function. Our dental team in New York, NY corrects abscessed or internally damaged teeth with thorough root canal treatment and offers sedation dentistry to further enhance patient relaxation. If you suffer from a severely damaged or abscessed tooth, call our New York, NY facility as soon as you can to hear about the perks of modern root canal treatment.
How do I know when I need root canal therapy?
Inflamed tooth pulp might be attributed to severe cavities, a break, or an injury. At Madison Avenue Dentists, we can take a digital scan and perform an oral evaluation to find out if a root canal or a different option is required to relieve tooth discomfort and save your dental health. Several of the signs that could signal you need a root canal are:
- Swelling concentrated around the face or gumline
- Alteration in the color of a tooth after a wound
- Sensitivity to hot or cool temperatures
- Another persistent dental discomfort
- Painful pustule on the gumline
- Intense or dull toothaches
- Pain when eating
Contact our office in New York, NY if you have unexplained pain that you need our team to look at. We can provide you with a solution that will alleviate your pain.
Madison Avenue Dentists Reviews
Our family considers ourselves very lucky to have found Dr. Oh's and Dr. Estafan's dental practice a few years ago. Between the three of us (2 adults and a teenage kid), we had experienced the entire range of dental treatments from basic preventative procedures to root canals, crowns, bridges, multiple implants (which in my case required bone grafting). And we cannot be more satisfied! The appointments are easy to set up, waiting time is either nonexistent or reasonable, the procedures are as gentle and painless as they can possibly be. And both doctors are terrific, kind, patient and gentle human beings! If you are looking for a great dental care, no matter how difficult your case might be, you won't find a better practice!
I have severe anxiety when it comes to the dentist but Dr. Ash was so patient and understanding. He is very personable and thorough. He made me feel comfortable and checked in with me every 5 min to make sure I was okay. Claudia who works in the front desk is also very friendly and professional. I highly recommend if you have had bad experiences in the past that you give Dr. Ash a chance to change your mind about going to the dentist. I also want to note that I had a root canal and I’m very sensitive to pain and had no discomfort at all during the procedure. I will return for future services.

Is root canal therapy painful?
Many people worry about pain during a root canal, but most patients at Madison Avenue Dentists report little to no discomfort. Our team utilizes various sedation techniques and effective anesthetics to ensure the treatment area is completely numb and patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure. If you have concerns about pain, we can discuss them during your consultation.
How much time does a root canal take?
The duration of root canal therapy depends on the specifics of your dental condition. Typically, a root canal can be completed in about 45 – 60 minutes, though more complex cases may require up to 90 minutes.
Can I eat as usual after a root canal?
It is recommended to wait to eat until the numbness has completely dissipated to avoid inadvertently biting your cheek or tongue. After the numbness is gone, it is advisable to consume soft foods for a few days. Suitable options include yogurt, applesauce, and scrambled eggs. It's best to avoid hard, chewy, or sticky foods to safeguard the treated tooth.
