Root Canal Treatment in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach
When tooth pain strikes or an infection develops, root canal therapy can be the difference between saving your tooth and losing it. At Apollonia Dental in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach, Dr. Rayhan and Dr. Marvizi offer gentle, effective root canal treatment to restore your oral health and relieve pain—without the need for extraction.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
In the past, a damaged or infected tooth nerve almost certainly meant extraction. Today, root canal therapy allows us to preserve your natural tooth—even when the nerve is diseased. This treatment removes harmful bacteria and infected tissue from inside the tooth, protecting both your oral health and overall wellness.
Your tooth’s nerve helps detect temperature, but once the tooth has fully erupted, the nerve is no longer essential. If it becomes infected, removing it through a root canal won’t affect how your smile functions, and it can prevent serious complications like abscesses and jawbone damage.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
You don’t have to be in severe pain to need a root canal. Some signs are more subtle. Contact Apollonia Dental in Long Beach if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent tooth pain or pressure when chewing
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- A pimple-like bump on your gum
- These symptoms may indicate an infection that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss or the spread of infection.
What to Expect During a Root Canal at Apollonia Dental
Your root canal treatment at Apollonia Dental will usually take one to three visits. Here’s what you can expect:
- Diagnosis & Nerve Removal – Dr. Rayhan or Dr. Marvizi will carefully remove the infected tissue from inside your tooth.
- Cleaning & Sealing – The tooth’s interior is disinfected and sealed to prevent future infection.
- Restoration – The tooth is filled with a durable dental composite. In some cases, we’ll place a custom dental crown to reinforce and protect the tooth for long-term strength. With proper brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.
