Root canal procedures have been a staple of restorative dental practices for generations and have garnered a negative reputation among patients. Dr. Rose is very gentle and considerate of her patients' comfort while performing this procedure, and her patients often comment on her calm and soothing demeanor. Root canals are used when the root of a tooth dies from untreated infection or trauma. Dead material becomes trapped inside the tooth and, if not treated, begins to decay the surrounding enamel and necessitates a root canal procedure.

To remove the root Dr. Rose drills through the top of the tooth to expose the pulp chamber. She then extracts the infected tissue, fills the vacant canal, and further removes some enamel to help fit the tooth with a porcelain dental crown. While the crown is being fabricated at an outside dental laboratory, Dr. Rose will cover the tooth temporarily. At your follow up appointment to Lotus Dental the crown will be fitted and bonded into place. For pain-free root canals in Ventura, CA, or the surrounding areas of Santa Paula or and Camarillo, contact Dr. Rose's office to schedule an appointment.
