Professional Endodontics in Palmdale
What is Endodontics?
Do Root Canals Hurt?
Having a root canal done is typically not a whole lot more different than having a deep filling. There's little to no pain because your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb your tooth and gums so you are comfortable during the procedure.
Why Should I Have A Root Canal?
If an infection is left untreated long enough, the damage caused by the decay can cause the tooth to fall out, or a dentist might decide to extract it to keep the infection from getting to other parts of the body.
When is Endodontic Care Needed
Tissue decay, inflamed pulp matter and ligaments, damaged teeth, distressed nerves, disease and infected injuries all require the specialized care of an endodontist. Often, pain and toothaches cannot be located with precision by a general practice dentist. Endodontists are specially trained to handle difficult-to-determine cases where sensitive, in-depth investigation is essential and customized treatments applied.
Get to the Source of Your Discomfort
Because your oral cavity contains a vast matrix of nerves, pain from one source can be felt in a general area including your mouth, head, neck and even ears. It’s vital to determine and treat the correct cause of pain.
