Root Canal Therapy

HOME / ROOT CANAL THERAPY

Eliminating the Pain and Saving Your Tooth

Each adult tooth is covered with enamel which is a hard, protective layer. There’s soft tissue inside and then in the middle, a canal containing blood vessels and nerves. If the tooth is affected by deep decay, fracture or another serious trauma, the blood vessels and nerves can be infected and then destroyed. This damage makes it impossible for the body to deal with an infection on its own.


This infection usually causes great pain because of the swelling in these tissues. The inflammation can migrate into the jawbone and begin to destroy it slowly. An endodontist in Carmichael, CA, will offer root canal therapy, which is a type of endodontic therapy. The word endodontics refers to a dental specialty focusing on treatment of soft inner tooth tissues. 


We offer this care regularly to our patients by utilizing our advanced equipment, high-quality materials, skills of our dentists and a caring attitude. Dr. Gurkamal Sandhu has trained specifically to be a root canal dentist, and has years of experience offering this and other specialized dental procedures.

How Root Canal Treatment Is Performed

Your dentist will open the affected tooth to access the canal, clean it and disinfect it. Shaping may also be necessary to make it easier to fill. The next step involves filling the canal with a special rubbery material. The tooth is then closed with white filling material.

Full Set of Benefits

With our care, a patient can be kept comfortable during root canal therapy. It’s common for patients to have less pain when they leave than when they arrived because of the pain associated with these infections. With the care of an endodontist in Carmichael, CA, we can relieve their pain and send them home feeling much more comfortable than before.


This pain-relieving procedure usually takes two appointments to complete. We follow our root canals with crowns for the teeth that have been treated. Your tooth will retain its natural appearance and be protected from wear and tear. With proper attention from a dental hygienist and dentist, you can expect this tooth to last a very long time after treatment.
