What Patients Really Need to Know about Root Canals in Islip
December 16, 2015
The words “Root Canal,” send most patients bolting for the door, but to be fair, root canals have gotten a bad reputation in large part due to misunderstanding. Root canal infection occurs when tooth decay causing bacteria reach the inner, pulp, layer of teeth. Root canal treatments are procedures that involve the pulp of the tooth, and the dental specialty, endodontics, was created to provide these necessary treatments. The procedure traditionally referred to as a “root canal” consists of the removal of infected pulp, refilling of the tooth with biocompatible material, and the placement of a dental crown to provide additional stability and protection to the treated tooth.

Citifield Crowning!
October 7, 2010
Dr. Rosenfeld went to Citifield last week for a dental seminar. He braved three hours of traffic in pouring rain to get there. The brochure mentioned visiting exhibits during the break, so Dr. R. assumed he was going to tour the stadium and see all the Mets’ exhibits. It turned out that the exhibits they referred to were those of dental suppliers! The seminar turned out to be an interesting day of learning about porcelain veneers, crowns and implants, but Mr. Met was nowhere to be found.
