Dental Root Canal Treatment

Saving Hopeless Teeth
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, with well over 14 million performed every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants
or bridges.

At the center of your tooth is pulp, a collection of blood vessels that helps build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection include visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the tooth and gums.

If you experience any of these symptoms, Dr. Cohen may recommend non-surgical removal of the injured pulp, followed by thorough cleaning and sealing of the pulp chamber. Dr. Cohen uses local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. We can also provide nitrous oxide to relax you for the procedure.

After your root canal is done, a crown or other restoration protects your tooth. Contact Dr. Cohen today to determine if root canal therapy is appropriate for your dental health.

TMJ/TMD Bite Alignment Treatment

TMJ/TMD – Proper Bite Alignment Treatment Helps You Say ‘Goodbye’ to Headaches and Jaw Pains!
Did you know that dental occlusion (i.e. your bite) is sometimes the cause of frequent headaches, aching or popping jaws, shoulder pain, and neck pain? If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position. This causes tension in the muscles in the jaw, and can lead to a variety of pain that you may have already grown accustomed to living with. By restoring your dental occlusion, the jaw can be returned to the position that nature intended. This highly technical procedure, known as a full mouth rehabilitation, is available in our office. If you have been living with the pain and discomfort described above, we invite you to discover the benefits that this procedure may bring to your quality of life.

Preventive Dental Care West Palm Beach FL

Dental Hygiene West Palm Beach FL
What is Wellness Dentistry?
Let's say you become ill and decide to go to your doctor for care. And let's say that you are treated and you recover. That's just great! But what if you went to your doctor when you were NOT ill and you learned how NOT to get sick? That would be even better! That's what we call "Wellness Care." And that's just what we do in our practice. We can certainly get your teeth and gums healthy and repair any damage just like any dental office can. But we go a step further and show you how to avoid dental problems before they become problems. We start with a very thorough examination. Most of our patients say they've never had such an extensive examination of their gums or teeth. We examine your bite and how your teeth come together. We look for oral cancer, gum disease, signs of wear on the teeth, and, in short, any problem that you might encounter at a later date. We want to head off any problems and make your teeth and gums healthier so you will be spending less time in the dental chair!

Dentist, Jeffrey Cohen provides his West Palm Beach dental patients a full range of preventive dental care for a healthy smile!.
