Save Your Tooth with Gentle Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a highly effective dental procedure used to treat and preserve teeth with severe infection or damage in the inner pulp. The pulp is the living tissue inside your tooth that extends down into the roots, containing nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or deep cavities, it can lead to pain, swelling, and eventual tooth loss if left untreated.
During a root canal, the infected pulp and root tissues are carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent future infection. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to fully eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
Once the root canal is complete, the remaining natural tooth structure is typically restored with a dental crown or cap, allowing for a natural appearance and full chewing function.

Many patients associate root canals with pain and discomfort.
But local anesthetics and advancements in modern dentistry have made root canals highly tolerable procedures that are often no less comfortable than getting a standard filling. Upon completion, a restored tooth that has undergone a root canal will blend in with surrounding teeth – virtually undetectable to the average eye. More than 9 out of 10 Huntington Beach root canal procedures are successful, and most treatments last many years or even a lifetime.
Frequently asked questions
Am I a candidate for a root canal in Huntington Beach?
You may be a good candidate for a root canal if your tooth has been affected by deep decay, trauma, or infection that has reached the pulp (inner tissue) of the tooth. Root canal therapy is an excellent option for patients who wish to save their natural tooth rather than undergo extraction. To determine if a Huntington Beach root canal is right for you, schedule a dental exam and consultation for a full evaluation.
What should I expect during a root canal procedure?
Your treatment will begin with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Once the area is numb, your dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp tissue, disinfect the root canals, and seal the interior of the tooth. After the cleaning and sealing process, the tooth is typically restored with a crown, which helps strengthen and protect it while restoring full functionality and appearance.
What kind of care is needed after a root canal?
It’s common to experience mild sensitivity or inflammation for a few days following your procedure. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. You can resume normal brushing and flossing right away. Be sure to attend follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and to monitor the crown or restoration placed over the treated tooth.
