Root Canal Treatment in Los Angeles
When severe tooth pain or an infection occurs, root canal treatment can help save your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. At Rayhan & Marvizi, DDS in Los Angeles, Dr. Rayhan and Dr. Marvizi provide gentle, effective root canal therapy designed to relieve discomfort, treat infection, and restore your oral health.
Will I Need A Root Canal?
In the past, a tooth with a damaged or infected nerve often meant extraction. Today, root canal therapy gives us the ability to treat the infection while preserving your natural tooth. During the procedure, infected tissue and harmful bacteria are carefully removed from inside the tooth, helping protect your oral health and prevent the infection from spreading.
Although the nerve inside a tooth helps you sense temperature and other sensations, it is not essential once the tooth has fully developed. Removing an infected nerve during a root canal does not affect your ability to use your tooth normally. More importantly, treatment can help prevent painful complications such as dental abscesses, bone loss, and further damage to surrounding tissues.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
You don’t have to be in severe pain to need a root canal. Some signs are more subtle. Contact Rayhan & Marvizi, DDS in Los Angeles if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain or pressure when chewing
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- A pimple-like bump on your gum
- These symptoms may indicate an infection that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss or the spread of infection.
