The myth about root canal therapy being painful likely began back in the time when anesthetics were just being introduced to dental care. Remember, at one time the barber was the same person who would care for people’s teeth! Today, surveys show that six out of seven people who say that root canal therapy is painful have never had this procedure done.

Root canal therapy performed at Dentistry on 10 incorporates effective numbing medication as well as precision techniques that lead to a comfortable, efficient procedure. During treatment, most patients feel nothing more than a little pressure, very similar to tooth repair with a dental filling. After root canal therapy, there is only a slight chance for soreness to occur.

Why extraction is not the better option

In recent decades, there has been a movement in which patients question extraction as a way to remove infection. The removal of an infected tooth will, of course, eliminate the source of infection. It does not, however, facilitate the goal of dentistry, which is to preserve natural teeth. A consideration that must be made when thinking about extraction is how the missing tooth will be replaced. The root canal technique used today has a high success rate for long-term function.

Dr. Rina Kotecha has performed hundreds of root canal procedures with excellent results. End the pain of infection with a consultation for restorative care at Dentistry on 10.

Procedure – Gum Disease Testimonial

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
