Root Canal Treatment
When tooth pain or sensitivity will not go away, root canal treatment can often save your natural tooth and relieve discomfort. At NewAgeDental in Jenkintown and Philadelphia, we provide careful, step-by-step care to treat infection inside the tooth and help you return to comfortable chewing and smiling.
What Makes Our Root Canal
Care Different
Accurate Diagnosis First
Before recommending treatment, we take digital X-rays and evaluate the tooth, roots, and surrounding bone. This assessment identifies the source of pain and helps create an effective treatment plan.
Comfort-Focused Treatment
Modern root canal therapy is designed with patient comfort in mind. We use local anesthetics, explain each step clearly, and help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout treatment.
Clear Treatment Expectations
We believe patients should always know what to expect. Before treatment begins, we review the process, discuss timing and recovery, answer questions, and explain next steps so you feel prepared and informed from start to finish.

Root Canal Treatments
We Provide
Whether your tooth is newly infected, has had previous work, or has started to hurt again after earlier therapy,
we provide tailored root canal treatment options to help protect your smile.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal infection treatment removes bacteria, inflamed pulp, and debris from inside the tooth to address deep decay or infection. After cleaning and shaping the canals, the space is carefully filled and sealed to help prevent future infection and support long-term oral health.
Local Root Canal
If you are searching for “root canal treatment near me” in Jenkintown or the nearby Philadelphia area, NewAgeDental offers this service as part of our general dentistry care. Our team evaluates your tooth, explains your options, and coordinates treatment so you do not have to travel far for experienced care.
Root Canal Retreatment
In some cases, a tooth that has already had a root canal may become reinfected due to new decay, a crack, or changes around the restoration. Infected root canal treatment involves reopening the tooth, removing any remaining or newly infected material, disinfecting the canals, and resealing the tooth to support stability and comfort.
Failed Root Canal
Failed root canal treatment describes situations where a previously treated tooth continues to hurt, shows signs of infection, or does not heal as expected. When this happens, we assess the tooth and surrounding structures to determine whether retreatment, additional restorative work, or another solution offers the best chance of saving the tooth and protecting your bite.

Frequently
asked questions
Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, fills, and seals the space to help save the natural tooth. At NewAgeDental, this treatment is carefully planned to relieve pain, treat infection, and restore comfortable function whenever possible.
You may need root canal infection treatment if deep decay, a crack, or trauma allows bacteria to reach the pulp, causing inflammation, sensitivity, or an abscess. By removing the infected tissue and sealing the canals, we aim to stop the infection at its source and avoid the need for tooth extraction.
Signs of failed root canal treatment can include returning pain, swelling, tenderness when chewing, or changes seen on an X‑ray around the tip of the root. If you notice these symptoms after previous therapy, we can examine the tooth and discuss whether retreatment or another approach is recommended.
With local anesthetic and modern techniques, most patients find that a root canal feels similar to having a routine filling, though the appointment may take longer. Some soreness afterward is normal, but it usually improves over the next few days as the tooth and surrounding tissues heal.
After the canals are filled and the tooth is sealed, we typically recommend a crown or other restoration to protect the tooth from future fractures. We will schedule follow-up visits as needed to monitor healing and help you maintain long-term oral health.
