Saving teeth · Vista, CA
Relief from the pain.
A plan to save the tooth.
Root canal treatment treats infection or damage inside a tooth so it can be kept rather than removed.
When is root canal treatment needed?
The inner tissue of a tooth can become infected or inflamed from deep decay, repeated procedures, cracks, or injury. Symptoms can include persistent pain, sensitivity, or swelling—but only an examination determines whether root canal treatment is right for you.
What treatment involves
Your dentist removes the affected inner tissue, cleans and seals the space, and typically restores the tooth afterward—often with a crown. Modern treatment is usually comfortable, and your dentist will explain each step.
