ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Endodontic treatment becomes necessary when the pulp ( the soft tissue inside the root canal) becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can be caused by a variety of reasons: deep decay repeated dental procedures on the tooth or a crack or chip. In addition, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible damage. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.The following symptoms could mean you need a root canal—

  • Severe pain while chewing or biting
  • Pimples on the gums
  • A chipped or cracked tooth
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Deep decay or darkening of the gums

Dr. Shapiro and his staff were fantastic. I was terrified of getting my first root canal, but he performed the procedure with ease and made feel comfortable the entire time. He was very kind and polite, and would check to make sure I was doing alright every few minutes. He would warn me in a timely manner to anticipate any kind of vibration from the instruments. I have had terrible experiences with routine dental procedures and placement of dental dams in the past with other providers, and had no such experience here. The staff were great; they were attentive and polite; they were able to get me a quick appointment for my spontaneous pain and were able to answer all my questions. I left feeling relaxed about what to expect after the procedure. I would highly recommend this office as Dr. Shapiro and the staff were great.

Overall, this may sound strange, but I found the whole experience of having my root canal a very pleasant one. There was no paid during the procedure and even at home after the Novocaine wore off, no pain. Not that I would want to have another root canal but, if I did need one I would definitely go to Dr. Shapiro.

I had a referral from my dentist and got an appointment right away. The doctor found the problem tooth and did a procedure to stop the pain. Later another procedure (Root Canal) took care of the problem tooth. I am more than satisfied with my treatment and the results of the procedure and with the the courteousness of the staff. Dr. Shapiro and his assistant were very skilled and precise and caring with me and I appreciate that very much.

In my 50’s with large old silver cavities I have seen several endodontists in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, now in Florida, but Dr. Shapiro is the best by far. I have had 4 root canals here and never any pain whatsoever. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Shapiro and recommend him to all my family and friends.
