Painless Root Canals

Painless Root Canals

It is important that any patients experiencing tooth pain visit our office to determine if a root canal is necessary.  Tooth infections can cause pain and sensitivity when they reach the nerves of your tooth.  If left untreated, infections can result in costly complications, including bone damage. 

Some individuals may put off their root canal because they are nervous about the procedure.  However, we are happy to assure all of our patients that modern root canals are actually painless.  Local anesthetic is used to numb the tooth at the start of the procedure.  Then, the infected tissues are removed and the tooth is cleaned and fitted with a crown.  With the use of precise dental techniques and state-of-the-art dental technologies, the entire root canal process is painless for our patients.

If you are in need of a root canal, rely on our practice to provide you with precise care and a painless experience.

Sleep Apnea Dental Appliances

Sleep Apnea Dental Appliances

Sleep apnea is a frustrating condition for many sufferers.  In addition to nightly snoring, sleep apnea can also increase your risk of developing other serious health problems.  High blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, daily fatigue, drowsiness, and liver problems can all develop or worsen as a result of sleep apnea.

 

Fortunately, there are ways to treat sleep apnea at our practice.  While CPAP is commonly used as an effective sleep apnea treatment, many find the device to be uncomfortable.  We offer custom dental appliances as an alternative treatment, preventing respiratory obstruction and ensuring oxygen flow throughout the night.  Many of our patients have found dental appliances to be a more comfortable and convenient sleep apnea treatment.

If you or someone you know may be suffering from sleep apnea, contact our New Hyde Park practice for more information on how to protect your health.
