Root Canal/Endodontist in Antioch California

When there is a deep infection within the tooth or injury or any untreated cavity then the tooth becomes infected or inflamed. We recommend endodontist for the root canal treatment, and the procedure is known as endodontic therapy. Sometimes, there is no visible or sign of damage to your pulp. Symptoms of root canal are tooth sensitivity to hot and cold food, constant toothache, tooth discoloration, pain in your jaw bone around the tooth. Without treatment, the infection will spread. Eventually, the tooth will become loose and have to go for tooth extraction. Dr. Ali Shirani who heads our dental office is a reputed dentist in Antioch California, and surrounding communities like Pittsburg, Brentwood, and Discovery Bay, California. He has several years of experience in treating root canal therapy

The Procedure of Root Canal in Pittsburg and Brentwood:

A root canal requires one or two visits, depending on depth of the infection, and requirement plan. During the root canal treatment, our endodontist gives local anesthesia to numb the surrounding infected area. A rubber dam is placed around the tooth to protect the tooth from bacteria. Our endodontist makes an opening in the tooth to reach the root canal system, and the damaged pulp. With the advanced dental instruments, the damaged pulp is being removed, and the infected area is cleaned, and shaped with filling material. The root canal is filled with permanent material is called gutta-percha. It will help to keep the root canal free of contamination, and infections. Then the permanent restoration is cemented with the porcelain crown placed to protect the tooth.
