What is a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged. The infection occurs in the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is filled and sealed.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

1.

Save Your Natural Tooth

Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of having it extracted.

2.

Relieves Pain

By removing the infected pulp, root canal treatment eliminates tooth pain and discomfort.

3.

Prevent Future Infections

Root canal treatment prevents the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.

4.

Restores Tooth Function

After a root canal and restoration, your tooth can function normally again.

More than 41,000 root canals are performed each day.

How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?

At Morena Valley Dentist, Dr. Nia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. First, we thoroughly numb the area and create a small opening in the tooth. Your Morena Valley dentist carefully removes the infected tissue, cleans the canals, and fills them with a biocompatible material. Finally, we protect your tooth with a permanent crown, restoring both function and appearance.

Root Canal FAQs

In most cases, a crown is recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore its strength and function.

Root canal treatment has a high success rate, with most teeth lasting for many years after the procedure. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help ensure the long-term success of your root canal.

Root canals are needed when the tooth has sustained a large amount of damage or decay. To avoid it, be sure to keep up with brushing and flossing twice daily, as well as your regular dental check-up and cleanings. Avoid sugary and acidic foods and beverages. If you play contact sports, always ensure that you wear a mouthguard.

Root canal treatment has a reputation for being painful, but this is a misconception. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.

After root canal treatment, your mouth might be slightly sensitive where the local anesthetic was placed or from having your tooth gently propped open for an extended period of time. The good news is that endodontic treatment removes the infected nerve, so your tooth can no longer transmit pain or sensitivity sensations.

To prevent any recurring decay or damage to your treated tooth, floss and brush around it daily and schedule regular checkups. A protective crown will help reduce any accelerated wear or breakage in your enamel since the tooth will be more brittle than normal.

A root canal treatment costs as much as a crown or bridge but can save you thousands of dollars in added fees related to extraction and future tooth replacement. Especially considering that an endodontically-treated tooth can last for decades after the procedure. A root canal is your tooth’s last hope of avoiding an extraction. Depending on which tooth needs treatment and the number of roots it has, a typical root canal costs anywhere between $500 to $1500. To reduce your out-of-pocket expenses, we will work with your insurance carrier to maximize the benefits you have available. Flexible payment plans are also available.
