We can help if you need extensive jaw care or require wisdom teeth extraction since we offer oral and maxillofacial surgeries in addition to traditional dentistry.

When to Seek Root Canal Treatment from Your Manteca, CA Endodontist

Although some patients fear root canal therapy, the procedure itself relieves the pain of an infected root. Make an appointment if you notice:


  • Tender, inflamed gums
  • Tooth sensitivity (especially to hot and cold substances)
  • Throbbing pain in teeth and gums
  • Tenderness or pain when chewing
  • Discolored teeth
  • Pain in lymph nodes and/or sinuses


Most of these problems occur when bacteria enter teeth through small cracks in the enamel, or through chips and fractures caused by tooth and mouth injuries. If a mouth injury dislodges or knocks out a tooth, your endodontist may perform RCT and insert a crown to protect the tooth.

What to Expect from Your Procedure

When you arrive for root canal treatment at Valley Oak Dental Group, we first take X-rays and locate the infected tooth. After we apply an anesthetic, we create an opening in the tooth and remove the infected pulp and damaged nerves.


Next, our endodontist inserts a rubber-like compound to fill the tooth and stabilize it. Finally, your endodontist applies cement and a temporary filling. During subsequent visits to our office, you can expect a permanent crown on your tooth.


Complete RCT treatment can take between one and three appointments.
