The procedure for a root canal
 

A root canal procedure limits the infection and keeps it from destroying the tooth.  During the root canal treatment procedure, the dentist removes the inflamed or infected tissue, carefully cleans, disinfects, and shapes the root canal space inside the tooth, and then fills and seals this space.

It may take one or more appointments to complete the procedure.  A protective restoration should be placed after root canal treatment has been completed in order to restore the tooth to function and help prevent tooth fracture.

At Dr. Mashhood's office we think of a root canal as thoroughly cleaning the invasive bacteria out of the root, filling it with a biocompatible material that soothes the area, then sealing it back up again.  Top it off with a solid filling or a crown, and you're as good as new.

That means you get to keep your tooth. And that's a good thing. 

Dr. Mashhood provides root canal therapy routinely in her office using the new nickel titanium crown down and shaping file system and the MM 1500 Sonic Cleaner to pull the infected pulp out of the tooth and leave the canals extremely clean and germ free in order to be filled with a biocompatible filling material.  The procedure is provided painlessly.

For more information about how we at Dr. Mashhood's office  can help you with your root canal problems, call us at 310 289-1101, we will be happy to talk with you.
