When the inside of your tooth, called the pulp and root canal, gets damaged, you may feel sharp pain when chewing or biting. You might also notice tooth sensitivity that makes eating and drinking uncomfortable.
Left untreated, this pain can worsen and make your tooth unsalvageable, even leading to serious infections that can become medical emergencies. At Broadway Smile Boutique, we offer comfortable endodontic treatment in Glendale, CA, to resolve your pain and save your natural tooth. Dr. David Shirinian and our caring team are here to help you feel better fast and protect your smile for the long run.
Endodontics is a special area of dentistry that focuses on treating problems inside the tooth, where the nerves and blood vessels lie. When a tooth becomes damaged by advanced tooth decay, a deep crack, or injury, bacteria can reach this inner part of the tooth, leading to pain and infection.
Endodontic techniques such as root canal treatment allow us to remove the damaged tissue and infection and seal the inside of the tooth, preventing the need to extract and replace the tooth. With today’s advanced techniques, root canal treatment is more comfortable and effective than ever, so you can feel at ease during your care and say goodbye to tooth pain for good.
Root canal therapy, or root canal treatment, is the most common procedure in endodontics. During this procedure, we gently remove the infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future problems.
A root canal can stop pain immediately and save your natural tooth from needing to be pulled. After root canal treatment, we’ll frequently stabilize and reinforce the tooth with a dental crown to keep it strong and functional for years to come.
In rare cases, a tooth that has had root canal treatment before may start to hurt again or become infected, especially if the tooth has unusual anatomy or not all of the nerve was removed the first time.
In these cases, we can perform root canal retreatment to fix the problem and help the tooth heal properly. As a trusted root canal specialist, Dr. Shirinian will carefully remove old filling materials, clean the area again, and reseal the tooth to give it a fresh start. Retreatment can be a great way to save your tooth and avoid more complex dental problems later.
