Root canal treatment to save your natural tooth

A root canal (endodontic treatment) removes the infected or damaged dental pulp, disinfects the root canal, and seals it to preserve the tooth structure. It is the procedure that relieves severe tooth pain caused by pulp infection.

Dr. Castro performs root canals using rotary nickel-titanium instruments and electronic apex locators for greater precision. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is far less uncomfortable than most patients expect.

After a root canal, the tooth typically needs a dental crown to protect it long-term. Dr. Castro can coordinate both procedures at his office, reducing the number of trips needed from across the border.

Root canal FAQs

Does a root canal hurt?

With modern local anesthesia, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. Dr. Castro ensures you are completely numb before starting.

How many appointments do I need?

Generally 1–2 appointments for the root canal and 1 additional appointment for the crown. Dr. Castro evaluates each case individually.

When do I need a root canal?

When you experience severe spontaneous tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat, tooth discoloration, swelling, or a dental abscess.

What happens if I skip the root canal?

The infection can spread, cause an abscess, and eventually lead to tooth loss. In severe cases it can affect surrounding bone and tissue.

Can I drive back to San Diego after the procedure?

Yes. Local anesthesia is short-acting and most patients drive back across the border without any issues.
