Root Canal

Welcome to Foundation Dental Specialists in Pasadena, where strong smiles begin! At Foundation Dental Specialists, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch periodontal care in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley for over 50 years. Our commitment to delivering trusted, comprehensive dental care led us to expand our services to more specialized endodontic care, including advanced endodontic therapy.

The Importance of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure aimed at saving a tooth that is deeply infected, decayed, or sometimes even cracked. If left untreated, the infection within the tooth can lead to severe pain, abscess, and even tooth loss. Our team of skilled endodontists at Foundation Dental Specialists utilizes cutting-edge technology, including high-resolution CBCT imaging and microscopes, to provide precise and effective root canal treatments.

Why Choose Foundation Dental Specialists for Root Canal Therapy

At Foundation Dental Specialists, we understand that undergoing dental procedures can be daunting. Our doctors are selected for their technical expertise, commitment to patient education, and compassionate approach. We ensure a comfortable experience for every patient, prioritizing their safety, satisfaction, and long-term oral health.

The Process of Root Canal Therapy

During a root canal procedure at Foundation Dental Specialists, our experienced endodontists will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further infection. By preserving the natural tooth structure through root canal therapy, we help our patients maintain a healthy smile and avoid the need for extractions or implants whenever possible.

Post-Operative Care

Immediately after the procedure, the treated tooth may feel sensitive and bruised due to the cleaning and disinfecting of the root canal. The sensation may persist for a few days, during which patients are advised to avoid biting or chewing hard objects and instead opt for softer foods and liquids. Over-the-counter pain medications and antibiotics can also help manage any discomfort.

In some cases, patients may also experience mild swelling and tenderness around the treated tooth. Applying an ice pack to the affected area can help reduce swelling and provide relief. It is essential to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your dentist to prevent further complications and maintain good oral health.
