Root Canal Treatment in Bayside, NY 11364

The best way to protect your smile when a tooth has been injured or has severe decay is to get a root canal. When done at the first sign of trouble, this simple treatment can prevent tooth loss and keep your smile healthy. 

During your root canal treatment, Dr. Velastegui will carefully remove infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth’s roots (the canals). If there is an infection, she will also apply a special antibiotic to help your tooth heal. Lastly, she will fill in the root canal with a sterile material. This seals the canal to prevent reinfection and keep your tooth healthy.
