ROOT CANAL THERAPY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

PROVIDING ROOT CANAL THERAPY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY SINCE 2002

Root canal therapy is a procedure that treats an infected tooth. The infected pulp is removed from the root canal, then the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and filled with a rubber-like material. Although the root of the tooth is now dead, the tooth can still function, nourished by the tissues surrounding it. The doctors will often place a crown on the treated tooth to protect it after the procedure. Saving your tooth by getting root canal therapy helps you maintain proper chewing and biting forces and keeps adjacent teeth stably in position.

High-tech, one-visit Root Canal therapy

Our doctors can take care of your root canal therapy in just one visit. They use advanced technology to make sure the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and the procedure is done right. This includes:

Electric rotary instrument. Our doctors use electric rotary instruments to clean the pulp out of the canal. These are more precise and efficient than traditional hand files.

Dental microscope. For more complex procedures, our endodontist, Dr. Karpman, uses a dental microscope to closely view areas that cannot be seen in an X-ray. The microscope provides enough magnification to enable the doctor to see the interior of the tooth in detail and precisely treat any issues he detects. The result is thorough, efficient treatment with little to no postoperative discomfort and no need to prescribe antibiotics or pain medication.

SIGNS YOU NEED ROOT CANAL THERAPY

When the pulp of a tooth is infected, the infection usually causes a toothache and possibly an abscess. Some patients don’t notice pain, but persistent pain is a definite symptom. Other symptoms include:

Swelling around the gum line

An abscess or pimple near the tooth

Discoloration of the tooth

Tenderness at the bottom of the root

The tooth hurts when you bite with it

Spontaneous pain from no apparent trigger

Extreme sensitivity to heat and cold that lasts even after exposure to the hot or cold stimulus
