\"root<\/p>\n

You wake up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain. Your tooth is throbbing and you can\u2019t grab the ibuprofen fast enough. Once things calm down a bit, you call our Los Angles dentist<\/strong><\/a> the next morning to get worked in for an emergency exam. After a thorough check-up we find out that the tooth needs a root canal. But don\u2019t root canals hurt?<\/em><\/p>\n

Not anymore!<\/p>\n

At Crystal Dental Centers, our Los Angeles dentist tells patients that getting a root canal is a lot like getting a filling. The only difference is that it takes a little bit longer to complete.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how we\u2019ll help you stay comfortable:<\/p>\n

Numbing the Tooth<\/h2>\n

Modern anesthetic medications allow us to thoroughly numb teeth for the entire endodontic procedure. Like fillings, the tooth and\/or the area around it will be anesthetized, so that you don\u2019t have to feel what\u2019s going on. <\/p>\n

Offering Sedation<\/h2>\n

Sedation dentistry at Crystal Dental allows our patients to safely relax through any procedure \u2014 including root canals. We have a variety of sedation levels to choose from, so that you can be confident about the level of comfort you have in mind. <\/p>\n

Prescription Medication<\/h2>\n

If your dental infection is severe, it may be difficult to numb the tooth. In certain situations, we may need to prescribe an antibiotic at least a few days before the root canal treatment starts. <\/p>\n

For further information or to schedule a consultation please contact our Los Angeles Dentist, Dr. Alex Moradzadeh today 213.748.8448<\/strong><\/a> to schedule an exam or visit www.CrystalDentalCenters.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
