Common Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, a root canal might be the solution:

Severe tooth pain: Persistent pain when eating, or even when you’re not chewing.
Sensitivity to hot or cold: Prolonged sensitivity, even after the source is removed.
Swelling or tenderness: Swelling around the gums or tenderness in the mouth.
Tooth discoloration: A darkened or discolored tooth may indicate nerve damage.
Pimple-like bump on gums: This could be a sign of an abscess, a serious infection in the tooth.

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious problems, including tooth loss. At Espire Dental La Jolla, we’re here to relieve your discomfort and save your natural tooth.

Is a root canal painful?

Most patients report little to no pain during a root canal procedure, thanks to modern anesthesia and sedation options. Dr. Aramoon ensures a gentle experience with minimal discomfort during and after the treatment.

How long does a root canal take?

The root canal procedure typically takes one to two visits, depending on the complexity of the case. Our team works efficiently to minimize your time in the chair while still providing top-quality care.

How much does a root canal cost?

The cost of a root canal can vary depending on the case's complexity and whether a crown is needed. Our team will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss payment options.

Will my tooth be fully functional after a root canal?

Yes! After a root canal and the placement of a crown (if needed), your tooth will function just like any other. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile without any issues.

Can I drive home after a root canal?

In most cases, you’ll be able to drive yourself home after a root canal. However, if you choose to undergo sedation, we recommend having someone accompany you to the appointment.

How do I care for my tooth after a root canal?

Caring for your tooth after a root canal is simple. Brush and floss as normal, and avoid biting down on hard foods for a few days. We’ll provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
