 At Dr. Azadeh Abraham Dental Inc. in Paramount, California, we understand that the thought of needing a root canal can be intimidating. However, root canal therapy is often a necessary and effective solution for saving a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. We are committed to providing this treatment in a comfortable, stress-free environment, ensuring that your procedure is as painless as possible. Our team uses advanced techniques and technology to give you the best care, helping you preserve your natural tooth and restore your smile.

What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infections or damage to the pulp of a tooth (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains blood vessels and nerves). When the pulp becomes infected due to severe decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause pain, swelling, and even an abscess. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to more serious health problems. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, cleans the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infections.

Why Do You Need a Root Canal?
Root canal therapy is typically necessary when:
Severe Tooth Pain: If you experience constant, intense pain in a tooth, especially when chewing or touching the tooth, it could be a sign that the pulp is infected or inflamed.
 Tooth Discoloration: A tooth that has turned dark or discolored may indicate that the pulp is damaged or infected.
Severe Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold that does not go away could signal nerve damage inside the tooth. – Cracked or Chipped Tooth: A deep crack or chip in the tooth can expose the pulp to bacteria, leading to infection.

What to expect at Root Canal Therapy session:
  for root canal therapy, we ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The process typically involves the following steps:
1. Initial Examination and Diagnosis: We start by taking digital X-rays and performing a thorough examination to assess the condition of your tooth and determine if root canal therapy is needed. This allows us to identify the extent of the damage and infection.
2. Anesthesia: We will numb the area around the affected tooth with a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
3. Placing Rubber Dam: Rubber dam helps to isolate the tooth, and it does not let bacteria in saliva enter inside dental canal and dental pulp.
3. Accessing the Tooth: We create a small opening in the crown (top) of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber.
4. Cleaning the Pulp: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.
5. Sealing the Tooth: Once the pulp is removed and the tooth is cleaned, we fill the empty chamber with a biocompatible material to seal it. This prevents further infection and protects the tooth.
6. Restoration: In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a crown to restore its strength and function. We will discuss your options for crowns and help you select the best solution for your needs.

 Benefits of Root Canal Therapy 
Pain Relief: Root canal therapy can alleviate the intense pain caused by an infected tooth. Once the pulp is removed and the infection is treated, you will experience significant relief.
Preserving Your Natural Tooth: Root canal therapy allows us to save your natural tooth, which is always the best option for long-term oral health.
Prevents Further Damage: By removing the infection and sealing the tooth, we prevent the spread of bacteria and reduce the risk of more serious dental complications.
Restored Function: After a root canal, the treated tooth can function normally, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak without pain.

Does Root Canal Therapy Hurt?
Many people associate root canals with pain, but the procedure is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, and modern techniques make the procedure quicker and less invasive. After the treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

 Post-Treatment Care After your root canal procedure: it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing process: – Pain Management: Mild pain or discomfort is normal after the procedure. We may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe medication if necessary. –
– Dietary Considerations: For the first few days, avoid chewing on the treated tooth to prevent further irritation. Stick to soft foods until you feel comfortable.
– Oral Hygiene: Continue brushing and flossing, but be gentle around the treated area to avoid irritation. We will provide guidance on how to care for the tooth while it heals.
– Follow-Up Appointments: We may schedule a follow-up appointment to check the healing process and ensure the tooth is properly restored with a crown if necessary.
