Root Canal Treatment Q & A by Viviane Trinh, DDS
Root canals are meant to treat a tooth, or teeth, that are experiencing decay, or infection. An infected or dying tooth is a serious matter that needs to be addressed immediately before the situation escalates. Occasionally, facial trauma can also make a root canal necessary. After a root canal, it is possible that a tooth may also need to be restored with the placement of a crown. This will prevent other possible fractures occurring in and around said tooth.
Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!

What is a root canal?
Root Canal Treatment New York
When a tooth is decayed, it means that a bacterium starts to exist in the affected area. The mouth is home to many different nerves and when those nerves are exposed, this bacterium can create serious medical conditions in areas outside of the mouth. When the tooth is infected, the nerve tissue is most likely damaged as well. This leads to abscess build-up because of the bacterial activity.
Symptoms Of Abscessed Or Infected Tooth: |
Bone Loss |
Swelling that can affect your head, neck and face |
Drainage issues that come outward that can cause a hole in your gums |
Inflammation |
Cracking or Chipping Teeth |

Our computerized technology calculates the precise measurements of anesthesia needed to ensure a safe experience. In some mild cases, a root canal may not be needed at all. There are, however, some warning signs that do point to the procedure being necessary.
Signs You Need A Root Canal: |
Constant toothache that includes severe pain |
Sensitivity to hot or cold substances |
Tooth discoloration |
Tender gums |
Swelling and/or redness of the gums |
Gum pimples |
How does a root canal work?
After confirming needing the procedure with an x-ray, a local anesthetic is used to make you feel as relaxed as possible. During the procedure, the tooth will be cleaned, the pulp removed, followed by an internal cleaning and then sealing the tooth. This is a procedure that can be done within one or several visits depending on the patient’s individual situations.
After a root canal, the tooth is technically considered dead, but the tissue surrounding the tooth is still well alive and functions normally.
