What Does Endodontic Treatment Involve?
A root canal procedure may require one or more appointments. To begin the procedure, we will first numb the tooth and create an opening on the front side or top of your tooth to place multiple root canal files one at a time. This will remove the pulp, bacteria, and nerve tissue. If tooth decay is present, it will also be removed with special dental instruments. The root canals are then filled with an inert filling material.
Once the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and the canals are filled it will be sealed with either a permanent filling or, if additional appointments are needed, a temporary filling will be placed. If two visits are needed, the roots and the inside cavity of the tooth will be filled and sealed again with special dental materials. All teeth that have root canal treatment will have a crown or cap placed on them. This will protect the tooth and prevent it from breaking and restore it to its full function.
Root Canal Post-Care
We rarely have patients who experience pain after the procedure. However, your tooth may have some slight sensitivity, but this will subside as the inflammation diminishes and the tooth has healed. If you receive a root canal treatment in our office, we recommend following these after-care tips to avoid complications and speed up recovery time:
- Brush and floss gently – Be extra cautious when brushing and flossing the treated area, as your teeth will likely be sensitive for the next two weeks. Don’t aggressively brush or force floss in between your teeth. If you have difficulties, call our office and we can guide you on the process and recommend extra care tips.
- Choose soft foods – You don’t want to put extra stress on your teeth during this recovery time, so try to avoid hard and crunchy foods as they can damage the treated area.
- Keep up with hygiene – It’s more important than ever to maintain healthy oral habits during your post-op care. Contact our office if you’re experiencing any discomfort and pay attention to warning signs such as toothaches, bleeding gums, and/or discolored teeth.
Call our office today at (845) 209-2500 to schedule an endodontic treatment. We proudly treat patients in Port Jervis and the surrounding areas.

"Dr. Horn is a valuable contributor for the Port Jervis Community!"Dr. Horn is a valuable contributor for the Port Jervis Community. I appreciate his expertise and very great clinical knowledge. He has continued educating himself seeking innovative methods to treat his patients. When confronted with clinical challenges he draws on his research and education and performs is an excellent manner. He is not afraid to accept challenges and approaches each patient’s event clearly and thoughtfully. Each patient’s teeth are unique, and I have appreciated his direction, his plan and his interventions. He strives to achieve excellence through continuous learning, through purchasing new equipment, through learning the newest techniques and approaches.

"They Were a Breath of Fresh Air"Today my 16 year old son had his tooth knocked out in gym during flag football, the nurse called and told me they recovered the tooth and had it in milk and I needed to get him to the dentist ASAP. We contacted his dentist and was told that they did not have any emergency appts available, they offered no solutions and really didn't seem to care. I encountered the same attitude with several other offices that I called and I finally called Aesthetic. They were a breath of fresh air, their computers were down and couldn't even check their appts but asked me what was going on, spoke with the doctor and told me to come on over. From the minute we walked in, we were met with exceptional service and care, from the reception desk to the examination room warm vibes could be felt. Dr. Musi and Ashley treated my son as though they were treating their own child, so attentive and considerate. I am a little embarrassed to say that I am in tears writing this but I feel so grateful and my heart is so full. This was just a regular day for them but to me it just meant sooo much. Well, my family and I have finally found a dental home !!!!! Our current dentist is literally around the corner and Aesthetic is about 25 mins away, but we would rather travel for Quality service and care. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.Cindy-Lee
