Do You Need a Root Canal?

If you have a tooth that is decayed, cracked, chipped, or has experienced multiple dental procedures or trauma, a root canal may the best way of saving that tooth. Common symptoms that point towards a patient requiring a root canal include increased sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration, gum swelling, and tenderness. Without treatment, pulp damage can also lead to bone loss, drainage problems, and swelling.

What Does a Root Canal Involve?

Root canals start with a deep cleaning of the inside of the tooth to remove bacteria, decayed nerve tissue and debris. A hole is drilled into the tooth so the dentist can reach the inside with a root canal file. After cleaning, the tooth is sealed and then filled at a later appointment. A root canal procedure will restore the health of your tooth and prevent future infection and contamination.

Are Root Canals Painful?

Many people believe that a root canal is a painful procedure. However, most patients say that having a root canal is no more painful than other dental procedures. If desired, you can take anti-inflammatory pain medications to reduce pain after a root canal. Root canal procedures have a success rate of over 95 percent and are a permanent solution to decaying teeth. Contact Manlius Dental Group in Manlius if you think you may need a root canal.

Amazing dentist and amazing employees, we definitely found a new dentist office. It’s definitely worth coming from Town of Clay to Manlius ! Trish Guido.

I hadn't been to the dentist for a very long time and had horrible pain in one tooth, next to one I had lost many years ago. I don't generally trust medical professionals for many reasons, but every single person I encountered treated me with such respect and compassion and explained everything - from what likely had happened to treatment to cost and WHY - and what my options were in great detail. Dr. Yeager was so kind and approachable. 100/10; the entire staff was incredible. Thank you so much!

It is rare to have such a seamless experience at ANY business these days, let alone a dental practice. Every single touchpoint was flawless, from the initial call to the follow-up contact to the quality if care and chairside manner of every one of the practitioners our three family members encountered. Our assessments were extremely thorough--more than any I've ever experienced--and efficient without feeling rushed. One of our family members has a disability and sensory issues that require informed care and another is genuinely phobic about any dentistry, but the experience was so gentle and reassuring--especially with sedation options as-needed--that even our most reluctant family members are now willing to have the medical care they have avoided for too long. We are immensely grateful for the entire team at Manlius Dental Group and recommend them unreservedly!

Had an amazing experience at this dental group! I would highly recommend. Not only was i a brand new patient they took the time to explain everything to me and was extremely caring

I am so pleased with this dental practice! I had some work done to update some fillings in Buffalo (where I live) and was experiencing severe sensitivity and pain from that work so in an effort to fix my issue I got a glowing recommendation for Dr. Jake Revercomb in Syracuse and drove the 5+ hours for a consultation. He and his staff are absolutely wonderful - so personable and intelligent and they took the time to explain everything to me. We came up with a treatment plan and a month later I drove the 5+ hours again to have the fillings re-done! My teeth feel so much better and I am so ecstatic with the results after not being able to chew on the right side of my mouth for months. Couldn't recommend Manlius Dental, Dr. Revercomb, and the wonderful staff more! Would happily drive 5+ more hours a third time if needed (but thankfully that is not the case)!

Both my husband and myself are treated at this office and it has been a wonderful experience. The doctors, hygienists, assistants, and administrators are kind, thorough, and competent in their roles. The office itself is up to date and very clean. This practice keeps up to date on technology and continuing education which gives us confidence that we will always be getting the best care. Highly recommend.

I have been a patient for the past 23 years during that time, the staff and service has always been excellent and extremely attentive to my dental health. Today I had a crown done, not my first, and for whatever reason was a bit nervous heading into the procedure. Dr. Wagner and Sarah were exceptional in easing my angst and turned the day into a fun and relaxing experience. Thank you both as well as the entire staff at Manlius Dental Group for being so focus on delivering a wonderful experience for your patients!

The Manlius Dental group is extraordinary! From the folks at the front desk to the hygienists, dental assistants and dentists the care and information provided is excellent. I had an issue and the Dental Assistant was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure I was doing fine while having x-rays etc. The Dentist and the Assistant who saw me were both informative and knowledgeable and made sure that all was well during my visit! Checking out the staff at the front desk were helpful made sure I had further appointment setup. They also assisted me with sending documentation to my insurance. A finely tuned office all the way around! John S.
