Root canal treatment at Dream Dental in Toms River is designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth, all delivered with the calm, comfort-first approach that defines every visit to our practice.
A root canal is a treatment that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, relieving pain and preventing further infection. Once the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to protect it and restore full function. At Dream Dental, Dr. Assouline approaches root canal treatment with precision and a focus on your comfort throughout the process.

Ongoing pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, can indicate infection deep inside the tooth.
Lingering sensitivity that does not fade quickly after exposure to hot or cold may point to a deeper issue.
Swelling near the gum line or tenderness when biting down may signal an infection that needs prompt attention.
A tooth that has changed color may indicate damage to the tissue inside, worth having evaluated.
