What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. At Katz Family Dentistry in Webster, NY, our dentists use this treatment to ease pain, clean the inner tooth, and help save natural teeth that may otherwise need removal. Common reasons for a root canal include deep decay, infection, cracks, dental trauma, swelling, bleeding near the gums, bad breath, or pain that does not go away. Our dental visits are made to feel simple and comfortable for every age. Our team helps patients prevent dental problems through general dentistry and cosmetic and restorative services that improve the look and function of smiles. Schedule a consultation at our Webster, NY practice to learn more about endodontic treatment and tooth-saving options.
What Is the Process for Root Canal Treatment?
During root canal treatment, your dentist will numb the area to keep you comfortable. The infected pulp is removed from the inside of the tooth. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and sealed to help stop bacteria from spreading. A filling or crown may be placed after treatment to protect the tooth. This helps restore normal chewing and keeps the tooth stable. By removing infection from deep inside the tooth, endodontic treatment can also help protect the gums, jawbone, and nearby teeth.
What Are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal at Katz Family Dentistry in Webster, NY can help relieve pain while keeping more of your natural smile in place. It also helps stop infection before it affects other areas of the mouth and may offer the following benefits:
- Helping to save a natural tooth
- Easing pain caused by infected pulp
- Removing bacteria from inside the tooth
- Helping protect nearby teeth and gums

- May prevent the need for extraction

I just had my first visit and upon walking into the office I received an extremely warm welcome from everyone immediately. The camaraderie between the staff was evident and Dr Katz instantly exudes the level of professionalism and care I was searching for. Best. Move. Ever.
Very friendly staff! I was in and out of the office in 30 minutes for a filling. During the filling Kyra provided great guidance when going through the steps. I felt well cared for!!
