Root Canal Therapy
The tooth-saver with an unfair reputation — it ends pain, not causes it.
Root Canal Therapy
Save the tooth, stop the pain
When deep decay or injury inflames the nerve inside a tooth, the pain can be relentless — and the only alternatives are root canal therapy or losing the tooth. We gently remove the infected tissue, disinfect and seal the canals, and protect the tooth with a crown.
At Dentist of Cerritos, root canals are performed by our in-house endodontic specialists — Dr. Ghalambor and Dr. Pruss — using microscopic techniques. With modern anesthetic, most patients compare the experience to getting a filling.
- Performed by endodontic specialists in-house
- Microscopic precision techniques
- Relieves pain and saves your natural tooth
- Often completed in a single visit
Signs you might need one
Lingering pain with hot or cold, pain when biting, a darkening tooth, swelling near the gum, or a pimple-like bump on the gums — all point toward an inflamed or infected nerve. Don’t wait for it to “pass”; infections don’t heal on their own, and early treatment is simpler treatment.
