Are you suffering from deep dental pain that just won’t go away? It might be because of inflamed or infected underlying dental tissue. At BLVD Dental Aesthetics in Mid-Wilshire, Dr. Daniel Adelpour steps up classic root canal procedures by employing advanced dental technology designed to reduce overall root canal pain and recovery time during endodontic treatment.
Teeth consist of many layers, and the root canal contains pulp tissue which helps keep the teeth alive and well. The dental pulp houses blood vessels, connective tissue, and nerves and extends from the top of the tooth to the tip of the roots. Based on the tooth type, here’s how many roots and root canals it probably has:
Knowing the number of tooth roots and root canals in a tooth is vital because molars (back teeth) are more challenging to treat with root canal therapy. Generally, this is because they contain more tooth roots and root canals than other teeth.
Dr. Adelpour might deem a root canal necessary if the soft dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected from deep dental decay or damage. If ignored, root canal pain will continue, and an abscess might develop.

Tooth pain shouldn’t be ignored, and wise to meet with a dentist with the expertise to tackle endodontic treatment if your teeth ever hurt. A root canal could save your tooth from extraction. According to the American Association of Endodontists, more than 15 million teeth are saved yearly with root canals—and your tooth could be one of them with prompt root canal treatment.
