Save Your Tooth with Gentle Root Canal Therapy

At Dailley Dental Care, Dr. Teah Nguyen offers precise and comfortable root canal therapy to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural tooth. Serving Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito & Oakland, we use modern techniques to restore oral health.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) involves removing infected or damaged pulp within the tooth, disinfecting the internal canals, and sealing them to prevent re-infection. This procedure helps you avoid extraction and maintain your tooth’s structure and function.

When It’s Needed

  • Deep decay reaching the tooth pulp
  • Persistent, severe toothache or sensitivity to hot/cold
  • Swollen gums or abscess near a tooth
  • Injury or trauma damaging the tooth’s nerve

Our Root Canal Process

Dr. Nguyen follows a step-by-step, patient-focused approach to ensure comfort and success:

  • Consultation & Diagnosis: Exam, X-rays, and pulp vitality testing.
  • Anesthesia & Isolation: Local anesthesia and a rubber dam isolate the tooth.
  • Access & Cleaning: Create a small opening and remove infected tissue and debris.
  • Shaping, Disinfection & Sealing: Clean and shape the canal, disinfect, then fill with gutta-percha and seal. ([EdgerlyDentistry](https://edgerlydentistry.com/root-canal-therapy-importance-signs-procedure-benefits/))
  • Temporary Filling: Place a temporary restoration while final crown or restoration is prepared.
  • Final Restoration: Later restore the tooth with a crown, onlay, or filling for strength and aesthetics.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • Relieves pain and swelling
  • Eliminates infection from within the tooth
  • Preserves your natural tooth (no extraction)
  • Restores function and prevents further damage
