Root Canals
Root Canals Los Angeles, Endodontist
Some patients may experience severe pain, pressure, sensitivity, or swelling in or around a particular tooth. This may oftentimes be a sign of a tooth that requires a root canal. A root canal is required when the dental pulp (inner tissues) of a tooth is permanently damaged from trauma or tooth decay.
A root canal procedure requires Dr. Mungcal to drill into the tooth, remove the dental pulp (which includes the blood supply, nerves, and tissue) and disinfect the canals of the tooth. After this has been done, he will put a filling into the canals and rebuild the tooth with a post and a protective crown. By completing a root canal, Dr. Mungcal can help you save your natural tooth and avoid having an extraction altogether.
Dr. Mungcal uses a number of technological tools in his office in order to effectively and accurately care for his patients. A CT scan can be used to prepare for a root canal to allow him to see where the canals are, and detect abscessed root canals that can't be detected with regular conventional X-rays. CT scans also allows the dentist to properly diagnose the pulp anatomy three dimensionally.
Most insurance plans pay for root canal treatments as it is typically within the realm of dental coverage. This oftentimes makes root canals an affordable procedure for those who need to remove the pain and discomfort.
Unlike other dental offices, Dr. Mungcal can perform a root canal without referring his patients to another dentist or endodontist. Along with his twenty years of experience and thousands of satisfied patients, Downtown Dental may be the place for you and your family to visit for your overall oral health care.
