Root Canals in Hawthorne, CA

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.
