ROOT CANAL THERAPY Grover Beach, CA
Restore and Save Your Tooth with a Root Canal
Pain and sensitivity is common when you have an infection in your tooth structure - including the root. Root canal therapy targets the infection and saves your tooth from being extracted.
Reconsider what you’ve heard about root canal treatment
There’s a lot of misunderstanding around root canals. Opinions aside, root canal treatment isn’t always a painful procedure.
During Root Canal Therapy
-
Sedation is available to assure your comfort.
-
You’ll likely notice that your previous pain is gone following the treatment.
Know your root canal symptoms
A noticeable infection or ongoing tooth pain are symptoms you shouldn’t ignore. Your tooth structure and the surrounding gum tissue can experience further damage if your symptoms persist.
-
Tooth discoloration
-
Swelling, redness, or bleeding in your gums surrounding your tooth
Your tooth can be saved
Root canal therapy focuses on the cause of your tooth infection. The treatment removes the infection, prevents it from becoming worse, and promotes healing.
It’s important to follow care instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery period after a root canal.
-
Avoid heavy chewing or eating hard, sticky foods
-
Be gentle as you brush and floss on or around the treated area
-
Use recommended over-the-counter pain medication to deal with any pain or discomfort
-
Follow post-treatment instructions and use prescribed antibiotics
-
Contact our Grover Beach dental office about any complications or extended discomfort

Patients Experience
- Tiffany G.First off, let me begin by saying I NEVER write reviews -- but after my experience with Dr. Perez, I felt it was the only right thing to do seeing as he has changed my outlook on dentists all together. Dr. Perez is the BEST dentist in the Central Coast-- not just for people who are VERY fearful of getting dental work done like myself, but also because he is a grade A professional at his craft. I Went into his office and was greeted by a very friendly staff and felt comfortable through the entire process. He knew I had a fear from a past experience so he talked me through the whole thing and the remaining staff accommodated relaxing music, essential oils, and a positive energy presence . They are extremely flexible with my work schedule when making appointments and much more. I am very blessed to have found such a wonderful Dentist locally. I look forward to my next appointment!read moreread less
- AmberI am not shocked this dental office has so many great reviews. I called as a new patient today and spoke to Michelle. She is so incredibly kind and supportive. It is refreshing! She even shares an experience of her own anxiety and how Dr. Perez has “angel hands” and made her feel really comfortable which helps me feel better too. I haven’t seen the dentist yet and will post another review when I do. But I already feel so much calmer about going now. Plus, the wait time for an appointment is less than a month and they worked with our crazy schedules. Very grateful already! Thank you Michelle!read moreread less
