Root Canal Treatment

We're Rooting for Your Dental Health

Trusted Root Canal Dentist in the Temecula, CA Area

A root canal procedure is one of the most important and the most commonly done procedures at Ready 2 Smile Dental Group. This procedure involves the removal of the natural cavity, which is at the center of the tooth. It is only done to teeth that are damaged or decaying, in hopes to stop damage. The tooth is usually cleaned, the pulp cavity is removed and finally sealed. This can help to decrease the pain a patient feels, and allow the tooth to heal.

Hallmark Signs You Need a Root Canal

One of the most common signs of a root canal is pain. A patient who is experiencing pain all the time, and worse pain when they bite down, has an infection of their root canal. However, this is not the only root canal symptom.Below outlines a few more signs that you need a root canal as soon as possible :

Extreme sensitivity to foods and drinks that are hot or cold, which does not go away once finished

More than the normal amount of expected swelling

More than the normal amount of expected tenderness

A lump growing on the gums

A darkening of the tooth

The Root Canal Procedure

The root canal procedure, while a little more invasive compared to other restorative dental procedures, typically lasts less than an hour. Many patients feel more comfortable for a dental treatment when they know exactly what to expect. Therefore, the following outlines the entire procedure, step-by-step:

The infected pulp and nerve of the tooth is removed. This step alone can help to ease the pain that most patients experience when their root canal is infected. 

The inside of that area is now cleaned and shaped, removing any debris/infection that has built up.  This ensures that the infection does not continue to spread and become more serious. 

The root canal is filled and sealed.

A crown will be put on. This will match the color, size, and shape of the rest of your natural teeth. Nobody will even be able to notice a difference! 

Sedation

At Ready 2 Smile, we can provide sedation for patients undergoing root canal treatment. We offer an array of sedation medications, which can help to ensure the right one is chosen based on each patient’s needs. From a small pill that a patient can take the night before and upon arrival, to nitrous gas, we can sit down with you and discuss which sedation method would work best for your root canal treatment.
