Experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? At North Texas Endodontic Associates, our team of skilled endodontists specialize in providing comprehensive root canal treatment to preserve your natural teeth.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that can save your tooth, which might otherwise need to be removed. This procedure saves your tooth by removing inflamed or infected tissue and bacteria from deep inside your tooth. We understand the importance of preserving your natural smile and ensuring long-term oral health.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Root canal therapy is often necessary when the inside of your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. Here are common symptoms that might indicate the need for a root canal:
- Severe toothache when chewing food or biting down
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
- A recurring pimple on your gums
If you are experiencing symptoms, it is crucial to consult with us for an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
The Root Canal Procedure
The thought of a root canal may cause anxiety for some, but our compassionate team is here to ensure your comfort every step of the way. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthetic is applied to the affected area to minimize discomfort.
- A small opening is made in the tooth.
- The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
- The tooth is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material.
- A restoration, such as a crown, may be placed to protect and restore the tooth to full function.
Rest assured, we utilize the latest advancements in dental care to ensure a safe, effective and comfortable experience.
