A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that helps to alleviate your pain, save the tooth, avoid tooth extraction, and preserve the normal function of the tooth. Root canal treatment in LA becomes necessary when tooth decay is not treated early enough and it reaches the nerve, or when you break a tooth exposing the nerve. Sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved and tooth extraction in Los Angeles is recommended to prevent further spread of infection and pain.

Many people believe that a root canal treatment in Los Angeles is an extremely painful procedure. However, in reality, it should not be any more painful than having a filling.

Painless Root Canal Treatment

We will first treat the affected root canal treatment candidate tooth with antibiotics and pain medications. Once it is soothed, we will numb the area and Dr. Charles Huang will open the tooth. We will clean out the infected root canal pulp chambers and place sterile material inside to prevent further infection and to fill the hollow. You will feel more comfortable right away and we will also recommend additional tooth pain medication, over-the-counter or prescription, if needed for you to get back to normal over the next few days.
