When Does A Root Canal Become Necessary?
Our teeth are protected by two hard layers called enamel and dentin. Inside these layers lies the dental pulp, a soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels to maintain the vitality of your teeth. When the enamel gets damaged or decayed, the harmful oral bacteria may gain access to the inner pulp tissues, causing pain and inflammation.
If such an infected tooth is left untreated, you may not only end up losing the tooth but also risk the health of your remaining teeth. For this reason, our Houston dentists recommend prompt treatment with a root canal. This procedure removes the inflamed pulp tissues and seals the tooth to prevent further damage.
Indications For Root Canal Treatment
You may find it hard to figure out whether you have a pulp infection or deep cavities, but there are some warning signs to look out for. They include:
- Toothache ranging from sharp, throbbing to dull pain
- Lingering sensitivity in your teeth
- Puffy, red, or swollen gums around the tooth
- Tenderness upon biting or chewing food
- A small gum bump near the tooth
- Unpleasant taste or smell in your mouth
If you notice any of these signs, we urge you to consult our dental professionals for root canal treatment in Houston, TX. Early treatment can help save your natural teeth.
What Happens During A Root Canal?
At our Houston dental office, we use cutting-edge techniques to make the root canal procedure as painless and comfortable as possible. We will begin by assessing your teeth and recording digital scans to determine the extent of the infection. Next, our dentist will anesthetize the affected tooth with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
The initial step involves creating a small opening to access the pulp. We will then extract the damaged pulp using fine needle-like instruments. After cleaning and disinfecting the canals, we will seal them with a special material. At the end of the treatment, we will place a dental filling or crown to reinforce the remaining tooth structure.
