Root Canals in Hawthorne, CA

Saving Teeth and Relieving Pain with Advanced Endodontic Care

When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal may be the best way to save it. At Schnierow Dental Care, our experienced team, including a dedicated endodontist, provides comfortable, precise root canal therapy to preserve your natural teeth and restore your oral health.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth. Once the infection is cleared, the inner chamber is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. Finally, a restoration—often a dental crown—is placed to protect the tooth’s structure.

This treatment is recommended for teeth affected by:

  • Deep cavities that extend to the pulp
  • Trauma or cracks that expose the nerve
  • Severe tooth sensitivity or prolonged pain
  • Abscesses or swelling around the gumline

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Choosing a root canal over extraction provides many advantages:

  • Saves your natural tooth
  • Eliminates infection and discomfort
  • Restores chewing function
  • Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
  • Provides long-term protection when combined with a crown

If a tooth cannot be saved, our team also offers tooth extractions and replacement options like dental implants.

FAQs About Root Canals

Answer text goes here

Does a root canal hurt?

No. Modern root canals are virtually painless. We use local anesthesia and, if desired, sedation to keep you comfortable.

How long does a root canal take?

Most treatments can be completed in one appointment, lasting 60–90 minutes, depending on the tooth.

Will I need a crown afterward?

Yes, in most cases. After removing the pulp, the tooth becomes more brittle. A dental crown restores strength and function.

What happens if I don’t get a root canal?

An untreated infection can spread, leading to severe pain, swelling, or even tooth loss. In advanced cases, it may affect overall health.

Can all dentists perform root canals?

While general dentists can perform root canals, complex cases are best handled by an endodontist. At Schnierow Dental Care, you have both options available under one roof.
