Root Canal Beverly Hills

Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

A root canal is usually needed when the tissue within the tooth, known as the Pulp, is infected or injured. This may occur via a deep cavity, traumatic injury, cracked teeth, chipped teeth, or dental procedures near the pulp where a new filling or crown has been placed. Patient’s symptoms may include one or more of the following:

• pain or sensitivity to hot and or cold
• spontaneous pain
• pain to pressure or biting
• dull ache
• sharp shooting pain
• facial swelling.

What Is Involved In Root Canal Treatment?

If you have any of the symptoms listed, you will likely need a root canal treatment. The procedure removes the unhealthy pulp tissue within the tooth. During the root canal, the infected pulp is surgically removed, and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. After the cleaning, the pulp and opening are shaped for the filling. Then the endodontist fills the canal and seals it to ensure proper healing. The treatment is completed with a crown to protect the tooth during its restoration.
