Address Tooth Infections Before They Get Worse

Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal is often necessary to save the tooth and stop the spread of infection. Without timely treatment, you risk more severe pain, abscesses, and even the need for tooth extraction.Getting a root canal not only relieves discomfort but also helps you maintain your natural tooth structure, which is crucial for proper chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. Saving your natural tooth is always preferable to losing it, both functionally and aesthetically.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals in Redondo Beach, CA

Book an Appointment (310) 376-2460

  • Contrary to common belief, root canals are not painful. Modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and virtually pain-free. In fact, root canals relieve the pain caused by tooth infections.

  • Most root canal treatments can be completed in one to two visits, depending on the severity of the infection and the complexity of the tooth’s root structure.

  • Symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums. A thorough dental exam and X-rays are necessary for diagnosis.

  • After the procedure, your tooth may be temporarily sensitive, but this typically subsides within a few days. A crown is usually placed to protect and restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.

  • In most cases, saving your natural tooth with a root canal is preferred over extraction. Keeping your natural teeth helps maintain proper alignment, functionality, and oral health, avoiding more complex treatments like dental implants or bridges.

Why Redondo Beach Patients Trust Ahn Dental Specialists

After trying many dentists around Los Angeles, I'm so glad to have found Dr. Ahn's office. Her and her staff are awesome! Everyone in the office is always really happy and upbeat. The cleanings are very thorough and they make sure you feel comfortable throughout. Jill always does an awesome job cleaning my teeth and explaining the best ways for me to brush and floss at home. Highly recommend!
Tess Watson
My kids have been seeing Dr Ahn for almost two years now. Not only she gives them the best dental care, she is also very patient and understanding. When my 10 year old was feeling nervous, Dr Ahn and her staff gave her enough time and kindly explained about the treatment. Highly recommended!
Yuni Kim
Great office all around - nice staff, flexible scheduling, very gentle hygienists, and Dr Ahn is so nice and caring. I just had an emergency filling done on New Year’s Eve and she took her time and I didn’t feel a thing. The best dentist I’ve ever had!
Steve Goldberg
We have been going to Dr Ahn dental for the last couple years. Her staff is always so welcoming and nice. They are great if you have little ones who might be afraid of going to the dentist. My girl also appreciates the prize bin at the end of the cleaning! I would highly recommend.
Andy Chen
Amazing doctor! I needed an implant in the front and Dr Ahn restored it in such an amazingly natural way that you can’t tell which tooth is “fake” - I’ve been self conscious about it for a while. I’m smiling more and I love it! Thanks!
