Saving Smiles with Root Canals
At Atascocita Dentistry in Humble, TX, we specialize in performing root canals to save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. A root canal is a treatment designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth. During the procedure, our skilled dentists will carefully remove the infected or inflamed pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, then fill and seal it. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canals are no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled.
Who Needs a Root Canal?
Root canals are typically needed when there is a deep decay, a cracked or chipped tooth, or an injury that has affected the tooth’s pulp. If you experience symptoms such as severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, or swelling and tenderness in nearby gums, you may require a root canal. At Atascocita Dentistry, we provide a thorough examination and use advanced diagnostic tools to determine if a root canal is the best solution for you.
