How To Know If You Need Root Canal Therapy

Hi, I’m Dr. Concetta Mangiaracina from Shine Dental Associates Of The North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. Over the years of practicing, patients have often asked the question, “How do I know if I need a root canal?”

Do You Need a Root Canal?

Well, if you’re having some discomfort from hot and cold, maybe some swelling, or if your tooth hurts when you’re chewing, you really should come in and have us evaluate it. It’s very simple to evaluate by taking an X-ray, and it’s minimal discomfort to you.

Root canals can often be done within one visit. We also have specialists on staff. We’re open seven days a week for dental emergencies, regular patients, and walk-ins. You can call us; we’re here to help you and get you out of pain.
