Are you experiencing frequent and intense tooth pain? If so, Dr. James Powell can get to the root of the problem! For some patients, tooth pain can be the result of infected pulp or nerves inside the tooth’s roots. When this happens, a root canal can remove the infected material and restore your comfort.
As effective as root canals are, they often have a bad reputation of being painful. At Exceptional Dentistry, we are well-known for our commitment to ensuring our patients’ comfort in every way possible. When you visit our practice for a root canal in Palmdale, California, we will ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible. To reserve your visit with our dentist, please call us today at (661) 349-7725.
Root canal treatment is a type of endodontic therapy. Endodontics is a field of dental specialty which focuses on treatment of the tooth pulp and nerves. The tooth pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth, and consists of the living tissue and cells that house the nerves and blood vessels that keep your teeth alive and healthy.
When your tooth pulp is injured or diseased, it often results in significant pain and tooth sensitivity. If left untreated, it can cause your tooth to die and require an extraction. The ultimate goal of endodontics is to save your teeth and prevent them from needing to be removed from your mouth. Our dentist may recommend a root canal treatment if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth. When you receive a root canal, our skilled dentist will remove the infected and injured tissue from within the tooth, clean it and fill it with a medicated material. The tooth will then be sealed to help prevent future infection and capped with a dental crown to restore its shape, structure and appearance. Most root canals can be completed in one to two visits to Exceptional Dentistry.
Historically, root canal treatment has a reputation of being very painful. However, thanks to advances in dentistry and dental technology, Exceptional Dentistry can now provide you with a more comfortable experience. We combine experience and skill with advanced treatment techniques, state-of-the-art tools and technology, and local anesthesia to minimize your discomfort and pain and help you receive your treatment with greater ease.
