626-965-7445You may need a root canal if you are experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold or swelling in the gums. These symptoms can indicate an infected dental pulp, which is the innermost part of your tooth. If left untreated, the infection can lead to the loss of the tooth, which is why timely intervention is crucial.
Root canal treatment may sound intimidating, but it is a straightforward and painless procedure. Our dentist will start by numbing the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort. Then, Dr. Ana Cariaga will access the infected pulp, remove it and thoroughly clean and disinfect the inner tooth. Afterward, a special material is used to seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
Root canals save your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction, and maintain your smile’s aesthetics. It also relieves the pain and discomfort caused by the infection, and allows you to continue eating, speaking and chewing comfortably. This procedure not only restores your oral health but also ensures the longevity of your tooth, reducing the need for expensive and invasive tooth replacement options like implants or bridges. Root canal treatment is a proven, effective way to preserve your dental health and overall wellbeing.
