root canal Therapy In san diego, ca

High-tech, one-visit Root Canal therapy

Our doctors can take care of your root canal therapy in just one visit. They use advanced technology to make sure the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and the procedure is done right. This includes:

• Electric rotary instrument. Our doctors use electric rotary instruments to clean the pulp out of the canal. These are more precise and efficient than traditional hand files.
• Dental microscope. For more complex procedures, our endodontist, Dr. Karpman, uses a dental microscope to closely view areas that cannot be seen in an X-ray. The microscope provides enough magnification to enable the doctor to see the interior of the tooth in detail and precisely treat any issues he detects. The result is thorough, efficient treatment with little to no postoperative discomfort and no need to prescribe antibiotics or pain medication.

SIGNS YOU NEED ROOT CANAL THERAPY

When the pulp of a tooth is infected, the infection usually causes a toothache and possibly an abscess. Some patients don’t notice pain, but persistent pain is a definite symptom. Other symptoms include:

• Swelling around the gum line
• An abscess or pimple near the tooth
• Discoloration of the tooth
• Tenderness at the bottom of the root
• The tooth hurts when you bite with it
• Spontaneous pain from no apparent trigger
• Extreme sensitivity to heat and cold that lasts even after exposure to the hot or cold stimulus
