Root Canal Palm Desert, CA

Pulp is present at the center of your tooth. A pulp is a collection of blood vessels that aid in building surrounding teeth. Infection in your pulp can cause trauma to your tooth, causing decay, chips, and cracks. It even keeps away repetitive dental procedures. Certain symptoms of infection are swelling of your tooth, tooth sensitivity to temperature, or pain in the gums and tooth.

If you experience these symptoms, our endodontist will suggest you undergo a non-invasive treatment to remove the infected pulp. Our dental practitioner removes the diseased pulp, cleans the root canal thoroughly, and seals it. The process involves local anesthesia and requires one or more visits, depending on the required treatment.  

There are multiple benefits of this endodontic treatment. Here are some of them:

Prevent Tooth Loss

There are multiple ways of treating a tooth with a cavity or a decayed tooth. Extracting a tooth is yet another treatment option to solve this issue. However, tooth extraction causes gaps between teeth and makes them vulnerable to other dental problems. 

Keeps away Infection of Surrounding Teeth

Infection in the pulp is generally the main cause of decay in the tooth cavity.  Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp that causes bacterial growth and prevents the spreading of bacteria.

Prevents Jaw Bone Deterioration

Unlike tooth extraction, this treatment does not affect the infected teeth.  When a tooth is missing, the jawbone deteriorates with time, making it vulnerable to bacteria and other elements.  

Improve Overall and Oral Health

Our reliable endodontists perform endodontic treatment to prevent extreme dental procedures like tooth extraction. This treatment also improves overall health by preventing conditions caused by poor oral health, such as heart disease, diabetes, etc.
