Root Canal Treatment in Anaheim
Protect your natural tooth with gentle root canal care.
Comfortable Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure intended to prevent the loss of a natural tooth. Inside each tooth is a soft tissue known as the pulp. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that help support the tooth. When this inner tissue becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal treatment is required to remove the infection and preserve the tooth.
How Do I Know if I May Need a Root Canal?
When the pulp inside the tooth becomes irritated or infected, several symptoms may appear that signal the need for treatment.
- Tooth Pain - Tooth pain may occur for different reasons, but some types of discomfort can signal infection within the pulp. If you experience intense pain at night that develops into a headache, the root of your tooth may be involved.
- Dental Abscess - If you notice swelling or a small bump near the gum above a tooth and/or see pus inside the mouth, there is a strong possibility that root canal therapy may be required.
- Temperature Sensitivity - Sharp or persistent pain when eating hot or cold foods can also be an indicator.
- Tooth Darkening - A tooth that appears darker in color may mean the pulp is injured or breaking down. This can be a serious warning sign.
Root Canal - Treatment Process
Root canal procedures are usually completed over two visits. The first visit may take about an hour and focuses on cleaning and treating the infected area. The second appointment is typically used to place a dental crown, since much of the tooth structure may be weakened and needs protection and restoration.
