Root Canal Therapy in Altadena, CA
Root canal therapy is designed to relieve discomfort and save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed because of decay, cracks, chips or repeated dental procedures, treatment may be needed to stop the infection and protect the tooth. Dr. Brad Campbell and Dr. David Campbell carefully remove the damaged tissue, clean the canal system and seal the tooth to help prevent future problems.
The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Relieves dental pain: Root canal therapy removes the source of infection and helps reduce pressure, inflammation and discomfort.
- Preserves your natural tooth: Saving your tooth helps maintain normal bite function and may prevent more extensive treatment later.
- Supports long-term oral health: Treating infection early helps protect nearby teeth and surrounding tissues.
The Root Canal Process
Treatment begins with a complete examination and X-rays to determine the extent of the infection. Local anesthesia helps keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the area is numb, Dr. Brad Campbell or Dr. David Campbell removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, and fills them with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed and may be restored with a filling or crown for strength and protection.
What to Expect After Root Canal Therapy
Most patients are surprised by how smooth the process feels. Some mild tenderness after treatment is normal, but recovery is usually brief and manageable. Our team will give you clear aftercare instructions so you know how to care for the tooth, support healing and protect your result.
