Endodontics – Root Canal
Houston, the Woodlands, Kingwood, Spring, and Conroe, Texas
A root canal can be an important part of oral and overall health. While very few people look forward to endodontic surgery, most of us are aware that it is better to undergo this important surgery than live with severe oral pain.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal, or endodontic surgery, consists of several steps with the end result of removing infected pulp and abscesses from affected teeth:
- Localized anesthesia to numb the affected tooth
- Removing the soft pulp from the inside of the tooth
- Removing any abscesses surrounding the root of the tooth
- Filling the tooth with antibacterial paste and a dental filling
If an abscess is allowed to languish, it can lead to serious health problems. Because of the localized anesthesia, the process of a root canal is not painful. In fact, many patients find that the pain they have been suffering from is by far the worst part of needing a root canal.
There is no reason to put off necessary dental care, especially endodontic surgery, and your health may depend on seeking immediate care.
