Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy, is a dental procedure that is used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.

At Newbury Park Dentist, our root canal dentist has the expertise and experience necessary to perform root canal treatments safely and effectively. We understand that the idea of a root canal can be intimidating, but we are committed to making the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

During a root canal treatment, our root canal specialist will numb the area around the affected tooth with a local anesthetic. Once the area is numb, they will create a small hole in the top of the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp. They will then use specialized tools to carefully remove the pulp and clean and disinfect the area.

After the area has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, our root canal dentist will fill and seal the tooth to prevent further infection. In most cases, a dental crown will be placed over the tooth to provide additional support and protection.

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in a tooth, it is important to schedule an appointment with our root canal specialist as soon as possible. Ignoring the problem can lead to further damage and may require more extensive treatment in the future.

In addition to root canal treatments, we offer a range of other dental services to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether you need a routine dental cleaning or a more complex procedure, our team is here to provide you with the highest quality dental care in a comfortable, welcoming environment.

In conclusion, root canal treatment is a common dental procedure that can help to treat an infected or damaged tooth. At Newbury Park Dentistry, our root canal dentist has the expertise and experience necessary to perform root canal treatments safely and effectively. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in a tooth, contact us today to schedule an appointment with our root canal specialist and take the first step towards a healthier, more comfortable smile.

Triggers Of Root Canal Symptoms

Two main reasons can cause this damage:

 •   When the tooth has received a strong blow and, whether it breaks or not, the tooth loses its vitality.

 •   Due to a cavity that has not been treated in time and the infection reaches the dental pulp.

Chewing pain or sudden pain

Chewing should not represent any discomfort if your teeth are healthy. Therefore, the fact that it hurts to chew is an indication that there is a problem. Even if you cannot see any alteration in your teeth or gums with the naked eye, but you still feel pain or discomfort when you eat, you may need a root canal.

Even without chewing, there are cases in which people who need a root canal treatment experience sudden sharp pains in one of their teeth.

Darkening of a dental piece

One of the most common causes you may need a root canal for is after a trauma or a blow to one of your teeth.

It is possible that one of your teeth has broken and you didn’t realize it. If the trauma affected the tooth’s nerve, you will begin to notice discoloration changes in the tooth because the area is no longer receiving the same blood flow as before.

root canal
Gum inflammation

Root canal treatment is required when the root of the tooth is affected, as we already know, by decay or trauma. Being a problem in the pulp, it is usual that the gums or other soft parts surrounding the tooth become inflamed.

Inflammation in your gums may also indicate that you suffer from an infectious process in the root so that you will need a root canal more urgently.

Bad taste in the mouth and bad smell

If there is an infectious process affecting the root of your tooth and it is not taken care of in time, the infection can create an abscess with pus that will generate a strange taste in your mouth and halitosis. Root canal treatment provides the ideal cleaning and treatment to overcome these two uncomfortable symptoms.
