Root Canal in Sugar Land

Root canal

Root canal is a quick procedure that can help relieve tooth pain & save a damaged tooth. Root canals are used to repair and save your tooth instead of removing it. This commonly performed procedure can also prevent a later need for dental implants or bridges.
The pulp is soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels and provides nourishment for your tooth. It can become infected if you have; a deep cavity, Repeated dental procedures that disturb this tissue, a cracked or fractured tooth.
Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Root canal therapy usually involves local anesthesia and may be completed in one or more visits depending on the treatment required. Success for this type of treatment occurs in about 90% of cases. If your tooth is not amenable to endodontic treatment or the chance of success is unfavorable, you will be informed at the time of consultation or when a complication becomes evident during or after treatment. Ace Family Dental uses local anesthesia to eliminate discomfort. In addition, we will provide nitrous oxide analgesia, if indicated.
