Root Canal in Anaheim, CA
A restorative treatment done in one or two visits that has the potential to last a lifetime.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from the inner part of a tooth called the pulp. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that nourish and support the tooth. When the pulp becomes infected from deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or tooth trauma, it often causes intense pain, swelling, and sometimes abscesses.
A root canal treatment involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown to protect it from further damage.
Who Needs a Root Canal?
Not everyone with a dental infection or inflammation requires a root canal. However, if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms, you may need a root canal treatment:
- Severe toothache that doesn't go away with painkillers
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
- Swelling and tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Persistent bad breath or taste in the mouth
