Treatment for Dental Abscesses

When a cavity is left untreated for too long, it can infect and destroy the inside of your tooth, known as the pulp. This can cause an abscess in your tooth and can cause pain and irritation to occur, which can also hinder you from enjoying your normal daily life. It’s important that when you start experiencing consistent pain in your teeth, that you talk to your dentists, Dr. Michael Amir and Dr. Talia Amir at Dental Planet in North Hollywood, CA, so that they can determine if a root canal is necessary to save your smile.

Treating Dental Abscesses with Root Canals

A dental abscess usually occurs when the pulp of a tooth has been infected from an untreated cavity and this can cause the tooth to start decaying and pain in your smile. A root canal from your dentists in North Hollywood, CA, may be the best way to help restore your tooth to a healthy and stable state, preventing any further damage from occurring to your smile.

During a root canal, your dentist will first numb the affected area to make the process as comfortable and pain-free as possible. They will then create a small opening in the top of the tooth, exposing the infected pulp. Your dentist will then be able to remove the pulp, giving your tooth a fresh start. It will then be cleaned and filled with a rubber-like material to prevent any further infection from happening. Finally, your tooth will be sealed, and you can be on your way with a healthy smile once again!
