Root Canal Services
See what can be involved in your root canal procedure.
Nitrous Oxide
The sedative laughing gas, also referred to as nitrous oxide analgesia, is used as needed during root canal procedures. Although not always necessary, it might be a great alternative if the patient is extremely scared.
Pulp Removal
Blood vessels and tissue make up the tooth’s pulp, which is the center of the tooth. If the pulp becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal may be the best option.
Gutta-Percha
Gutta-percha, a natural rubber substance, is used to permanently plug root canals.
Dental Crown
Dental crowns are placed as protective caps on teeth that are damaged or that have undergone surgery. Our endodontists may choose to cap your tooth with a crown after undergoing root canal therapy.

Root Canal Therapy: A Solution To Your Pain
Endodontics in South Pasadena can help you save your tooth.
Once it is determined you need a root canal in South Pasadena, our dentist will consult with you about the process of receiving the therapy and how it will save your tooth. Essentially, a root canal is removing all of the infected parts of the tooth, refilling it and then sealing it so you can be pain-free. During your visit, the dentist will remove the nerve, the pulp, bacteria and any other present decay. The tooth will be thoroughly cleaned out to help prevent against further infection and decay. Once it is cleaned, if further appointments are needed, a temporary filling will restore the tooth. Then it will be sealed permanently with the help of a dental crown on the next visit for added support. Dental crowns provide structure and support for teeth that have had severe damage or decay. They allow you to bite, chew and talk easily. Once your treatment is complete the tooth and the area around it will likely be sensitive until healed, but the sharp pain you were experiencing from decay will no longer be present. When given the option for a root canal or pulling a tooth, make sure you always choose to save your natural tooth. We are always available to take your call to set up an emergency appointment for endodontics in South Pasadena. You can reach a member of our staff 24/7 by calling (626) 441-6234.
