Root Canal Treatment in North Hollywood, CA
A root canal relieves the pain of an infected tooth and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.

Meet our doctors.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Lingering or throbbing tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade
- Swollen or tender gums near one tooth
- A darkened or discolored tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
If any of these sound familiar, call (818) 356-4736 — an infected tooth rarely improves on its own.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Diagnosis — an exam and X-rays confirm whether the tooth’s pulp is infected or inflamed.
- Comfortable numbing — the area is fully anesthetized before treatment begins.
- Cleaning & sealing — the infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed.
- Restoration — most treated teeth are protected with a crown to restore full strength.
