Root Canal in Oxnard
Save Your Tooth with a Root Canal Procedure
A root canal is a specialized procedure designed to save your tooth from extraction. Our teeth are made up of several components, one of which is the pulp. The pulp houses the tooth's nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this vital area becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure is necessary to preserve the tooth and alleviate pain.
I had a great experience here. Finding a root canal specialist who accepted my insurance was very difficult, but this office came through for me. They were even able to schedule my appointment within the same week to get me out of pain.
Do You Need a Root Canal?
If your tooth's pulp becomes inflamed or infected, you may experience symptoms that indicate the need for a root canal. Here are some signs to watch out for:
Toothache
Toothaches are common, but certain types of pain may suggest an issue with the pulp. If you experience sharp, intense pain that wakes you up at night or leads to a headache, your tooth’s root may be in trouble.
Abscess
A visible bump near the top of a tooth or pus in the mouth can be a sign of an abscess, indicating that a root canal may be required.
Sensitivity
If you experience extreme sensitivity to hot or cold foods, it could be a sign that your pulp is inflamed or infected.
Discoloration
Dark discoloration on a tooth may signal a deteriorating pulp, which is a serious concern that needs immediate attention.
The Root Canal - Procedure
Root canals are typically completed over one or two appointments. The first appointment, lasting about an hour, focuses on removing the infected pulp. The second appointment is for placing a dental crown, which restores the tooth's appearance and strength, as much of the tooth's structure will be removed during the procedure.
