Root Canal Treatment
The root canal procedure at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care in Los Angeles is painless and affordable.
Root canals are one of the preferred treatments for an infected, decayed or damaged tooth. When a tooth has undergone any of the aforementioned traumas, a dentist must care for the nerves and root. In many cases, a patient’s natural tooth can be preserved with root canal therapy. If you are in pain, we will first give you a comprehensive dental examination. The team at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care will discuss with you your symptoms and potential treatment options. If a root canal is deemed necessary, the doctor will schedule your root canal procedure.
With modern techniques and technologies, once you are numbed with novocain, the root canal procedure is relatively painless. You will feel some pressure as the doctor cleans out the infected tissue and pulp and as decay is removed from the tooth. Once the procedure is finished and the tooth cleaned of infection, you will be fitted for a crown and a second appointment will be made. Your mold will be sent to the lab where a beautiful ceramic crown will be created. During your second appointment, your dental crown will be secured to your tooth, leaving you with a natural, beautiful healthy smile. Your new tooth will match the color of your other teeth and no one will be able to tell the difference! If you are in pain, give Mid-Wilshire Dental Care a call today. We look forward to stopping your pain and getting your health on track!
How Do I Know If I Need a Root Canal?
Persistent or intense tooth pain may indicate underlying issues such as decay, infection, or abscess. Early diagnosis can prevent further complications.
Discomfort or sharp pain when consuming hot foods or beverages could signal enamel erosion or nerve damage. A dental evaluation is recommended.
If cold drinks or air cause a sharp twinge, it might be due to exposed dentin, receding gums, or tooth decay. Addressing it early helps protect your teeth.
Swollen, red, or bleeding gums are common signs of gum disease or infection. Prompt treatment can restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
Yellow, brown, or gray tooth discoloration can result from staining, trauma, or decay. A professional assessment helps determine the right cosmetic or restorative option.
“Some people shudder when they hear the words ‘root canal’—I know I did. But when I had an abscess, I just wanted relief. I’m so glad I went to Mid-Wilshire Dental Care. They said they could stop the pain and save the tooth. I was nervous, but also relieved. And you know what? It wasn’t that bad. The staff was friendly, eased my fears, and the office was calm. Once I was numbed, it was surprisingly painless.

After I got a word in and told him I just needed the extraction, he stated that, apparently, I did not want to do things the right way and left me with a billing person who said the extraction (with insurance) would be a whopping 700 dollars.
Total scam.
