The Importance of Root Canal Treatment in Brookline, MA

Root canal therapy in Brookline MA by Dr. Stan Kovtun

Today is National Root Canal Appreciation Day!

We want to take a moment to recognize the importance of dental health for all our patients! Over 41,000 root canals are performed daily. Fifteen million root canals have been conducted in the U.S. annually. Root canal treatment (Endodontics) is a fantastic procedure that can help you when you need it most. Root canal therapy is often required when infection or trauma occurs to the inner portion of the tooth. Without root canal treatment, the only other option for these patients would be permanent extraction of the tooth. When performed correctly, a root canal can completely transform your oral health, which improves overall health as well! We always strive to save your natural teeth rather than extract them. Root canal treatment is an excellent way to save a tooth infected by bacteria.

Root canal treatment is safe, effective, fast, comfortable, and affordable. While root canal treatments can be tricky, it is generally an outpatient procedure. You must learn several tips and tricks, and we want to share one of them! The root canal tooth will be a little sensitive for a few days. It will genuinely help if you keep a watch on what you eat. You will need to avoid foods that can lead to irritation. Certain foods, such as fries, chips, nuts, or difficult things, can cause pressure on your tooth. Avoid eating such food items that can put pressure on your tooth. Also, avoid sugary items for a while as they can lead to infection. We save teeth at Alpha Plus Dental Center and make a root canal no more painful than an average filling! We hope this helps! Don’t let fear cause you to avoid taking care of your smile!

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
