There’s no need to be anxious if our trained dentist near you has recommended a root canal treatment for your tooth. Millions of Americans undergo root canal treatments that help relieve pain and restore functionality.
If you leave tooth decay untreated, the bacteria finds its way into the tooth chamber and infects the dental pulp. The dental pulp stretches from the crown to the tip of the roots, where it connects to surrounding tissue. When the blood vessels and nerves in the pulp get infected, it results in sharp or dull pain that will not disappear until the tooth is treated.
Dr. Nazanin Abolhasani performs painless root canal treatment to clean and disinfect the root canal near you. We will then seal the root canal to protect the tooth from re-infection. A healthy adult tooth does not need dental pulp to help it survive. With proper hygiene, the treated tooth can last for many years.
Patients who experience the following symptoms may need root canal therapy at Magnolia Dentistry:
Our trained DDS in Garland, TX, diagnoses the extent and nature of decay with modern digital imaging technology. X-rays help reveal hidden decay that may indicate the need for root canal therapy near you.
A treated tooth is often dried out, brittle, and prone to breakage. Once the root canal procedure is complete, Dr. Nazanin Abolhasani will place a crown on the tooth to strengthen the weakened tooth and protect it from damage.
Patients should brush and floss their teeth on a regular basis to prevent the tooth from decaying. Cavities can attack outer tooth enamel regardless of whether the tooth has a pulp chamber or not. Root canal therapy in Garland, TX, helps preserve natural teeth and prevents the need for extraction.
