Root Canal Treatment in Encinitas, CA
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. Inside your tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, root canal treatment is necessary to remove the infected tissue and preserve the tooth.

How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?
At All Smiles Dental Studio, we prioritize your comfort throughout the root canal process:
- Consultation and Diagnosis: Dr. Shahrokh examines your tooth, often using X-rays, to assess the extent of the damage or infection.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure.
- Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Final Restoration: In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance.
