Root Canal in Los Angeles
There is never a good time for a dental emergency.
Emergencies can happen when you’re on vacation, eating a meal with friends and family, during the night while you sleep or while playing sports. Some dental emergencies such as a toothache, swelling or infection can be prevented if you are diligent about your at home oral hygiene. Other types of emergencies such as trauma caused by a sports injury or a car accident may not be avoidable. If you or a family member is involved in sports, it is a good idea to wear a mouth guard to help protect your teeth and gums from severe injury.

Few things are worse than a chronic toothache, and unfortunately there are a variety of medical conditions that may cause this to occur. However, one of the most common causes of chronic tooth pain comes in the form of an infection in the pulp of your teeth. The pulp of a tooth is the soft tissue beneath the enamel and dentin that is made up of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that were all present to help the tooth grow during development. If the pulp becomes infected, your dentist may recommend endodontic therapy, commonly known as a root canal treatment. Despite the painful reputation this procedure has garnered over the years, recent developments in dental technologies have made the treatment relatively painless, easy, and quick. That way, our talented staff at Rockefeller Cosmetic Dentistry can fix your oral pain and get you back to smiling!
What is Endodontic Therapy?
In essence, a root canal therapy treatment involves opening the tooth to treat infected or inflamed pulp by removing damaged tissue then cleaning, reshaping, filling, and sealing it to prevent further damage and future infections. Endodontic therapy is the treatment of a tooth’s infected or inflamed pulp.
