Root Canal Treatment in Redondo Beach

At South Bay Dental Esthetics, we save natural teeth with gentle, effective root canal treatment. Dr. Slobodan “Bo” Djordjevic, DDS, and our in-house endodontist provide advanced root canal therapy in a calm, supportive setting—helping patients find relief from pain while preserving their natural smile.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) to eliminate pain and stop the spread of infection. Once the pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed, then restored with a crown for strength and protection.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
• Swollen or tender gums near the tooth
• Darkened or discolored tooth
• Pain when chewing or biting
• Abscess or pimple-like bump on the gums
• Deep decay or damage reaching the tooth’s nerve

Why Root Canal Treatment Matters

Without treatment, an infected tooth can worsen, leading to bone loss, abscesses, or even tooth loss. Root canal therapy preserves your natural tooth and prevents the need for extraction.

Benefits include:

• Pain relief: Eliminates discomfort caused by infection or inflammation
• Preserves natural teeth: Avoids removal and replacement
• Restores function: Allows you to chew and bite comfortably again
• Protects oral health: Stops infection from spreading to other teeth or tissues
• Durable results: With a crown, treated teeth can last a lifetime

The Root Canal Process

1. Consultation & Exam – X-rays and testing confirm infection or nerve involvement.
2. Local Anesthesia – The area is numbed for a pain-free procedure.
3. Pulp Removal & Cleaning – The infected tissue is removed, and canals are disinfected.
4. Sealing – Canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
5. Final Restoration – A custom crown is placed for lasting protection and natural appearance.

Caring for a Tooth After Root Canal

• Brush and floss daily as usual
• Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the crown is placed
• Keep up with cleanings and exams with our hygienist Kathy
• Report any unusual discomfort or swelling right away
