Saving Your Natural Tooth
When the soft pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause real pain and put the tooth at risk. A root canal gently removes that damaged tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it so the tooth can stay right where it belongs. At Little Smiles of Beverly Hills, we perform comfortable root canal therapy for both children and adults, with comfort and care at the center of everything we do.
Comfortable Care, Lasting Results
A tooth that needs a root canal can be painful and stressful, for you or your child. That is why we begin with a calm, thorough evaluation. Dr. N examines the tooth, takes any x-rays that are needed, and explains what he sees in clear, reassuring language. The goal is to understand exactly what is happening before any treatment begins.
When a root canal is the right step, your comfort comes first. We use local anesthesia so the procedure is painless, and for anxious patients or younger children, Dr. N offers sedation options. The infected pulp is gently removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed and restored so it can return to full, comfortable function.
After the procedure, we send you home with simple aftercare instructions and stay available for any questions. A follow up visit confirms the tooth is healing well, and a permanent crown or filling is placed when appropriate to fully protect it. Our priority is your peace of mind from start to finish.

Answers Patients Ask Us Most
Common questions about root canal therapy in Beverly Hills
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a treatment that saves a tooth whose inner pulp has become infected or inflamed. Dr. N gently removes the damaged tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then seals it so you can keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canals are far more comfortable than their reputation suggests. We use local anesthesia so most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure, and sedation options are available for anxious patients. In fact, a root canal relieves the pain caused by the infection.
Why not just pull the tooth?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better choice. A root canal lets you keep your own tooth, which preserves your bite, spacing, and bone, and avoids the cost and complexity of replacing a missing tooth later. Dr. N will explain your options clearly so you can choose with confidence.
Can children get root canals?
Yes. Children sometimes need root canal treatment on baby or permanent teeth to relieve infection and preserve the tooth. Dr. N has extensive experience treating young patients gently and safely, tailoring every step to keep children calm and comfortable, with sedation available when needed.
How many visits does it take?
Many root canals are completed in a single visit, though some cases need a second appointment. After the canal is treated, a permanent filling or crown is placed when appropriate to fully protect and restore the tooth. Dr. N will tell you exactly what to expect for your situation.
What is recovery like?
Recovery is usually quick and straightforward. Some mild soreness for a day or two is normal and easily managed. We provide simple aftercare instructions, and most patients return to normal activities right away. A follow up visit confirms the tooth is healing well.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes. We proudly welcome new families to Little Smiles of Beverly Hills. Call our office at (310) 362 5310 to schedule your visit and we will gladly verify your insurance benefits in advance.
