Root Canal Treatment in White Plains and Mt. Kisco, NY

Relieve tooth pain and restore your oral health with root canal therapy.

When Root Canal Treatment is Necessary

If tooth pain is persistent or you notice that your teeth have a lot of tooth decay or cracks, you may need a root canal in White Plains and Mt. Kisco, NY to save the tooth. Many dentists recommend a root canal when they notice signs of an infection of the tooth pulp. The only way to save the tooth at this stage is to remove the infected pulp and seal the tooth with a restoration. Neglecting to do so can lead to tooth loss.

Symptoms of an Infected / Inflamed Tooth

One of the most common symptoms of an infected tooth is excessive tooth pain. You may also notice swelling or a bump on the gum and the tooth may be tender to bite on. Symptoms of a severely inflamed tooth include severe sensitivity to hot and/or cold as well as pain that is worse at night or when you lie down.

If I could give it 10 stars, I would! I was having tooth pain and two other specialists were certain what the problem was. They were both wrong. My wife's dentist recommended Dr. Hope at Advanced Endodontics. His examination was thorough and he was able to diagnose what was causing the discomfort. His findings saved me from going through unnecessary procedures and costs. The staff was great. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

My dentist referred me to Dr. Kolnick for a difficult two part root canal procedure. I could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. From the beginning, Dr. Kolnick inspired my confidence in his skills to the get the job done well. I was also able to meet Dr. Chaudhry who graciously fit me into his busy schedule for an examination during the time period between the two parts of the procedure when Dr. Kolnick was away. The staff at Advanced Endodontics are pleasant and easy to deal with. My positive experience leads me to say that these are the experts to turn to when root canal and similar procedures must be performed.
