Relieve Pain & Save Your Smile with Root Canal Treatment

West Hollywood Root Canal Treatment

Discover the benefits of endodontic therapy, also known as root canal treatment, at Pearline Health. Our skilled team is dedicated to relieving tooth pain and preserving your natural smile through advanced dental care.

Understanding the Need for Dental Care

To grasp the importance of dental care, it’s essential to delve into the anatomy of your teeth. The outermost layer, called enamel, protects the tooth and contributes to its color. Dentin, beneath the enamel, supports it. At the core lies the dental pulp, residing within the root canals, housing nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth and sense extreme temperatures. When dental pulp becomes infected or decays, endodontic therapy becomes necessary to save the tooth. This procedure involves removing the infected contents, cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the canal, ultimately eliminating pain and infection.

The Root Canal Treatment Process – Your Path to Pain Relief

Our experienced team begins by conducting a thorough examination to diagnose the extent of your dental issue. We’ll take X-rays and assess your symptoms to determine the need for root canal treatment. If deemed necessary, we’ll proceed with the procedure.

During your first appointment, we focus on removing the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth’s interior. This step involves precision and care to ensure complete removal. The canal is then meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining infection or bacteria.

With the canal disinfected, we fill it with a biocompatible material to seal it off, preventing any further infection. Afterward, a custom-made crown is crafted to protect and strengthen the treated tooth. This final restoration step ensures your tooth’s function and appearance are fully restored.
