Chances are, if you’ve been told that you must get a root canal, you are worried about finding an affordable root canal service. In fact, root canal cost can often be so exorbitant that paying for the root canal is often more painful than recovering from the root canal itself. However at Zara Dental, Houston, endodontics are a service that we strive to make painless, both on the mouth and on the wallet.

If tooth decay is left untreated, it can often lead to infection or inflammation of the nerve inside the tooth or the pulp tissue of the tooth. Similarly, multiple fillings can also cause this inflammation or infection. When this happens, a root canal procedure will be required. The root canal is the space between the tooth and the roots. In a root canal procedure, your dentist will remove the infected and inflamed tissue from the root canal. Then, the canal is filled with a special material and sealed to prevent future infection or inflammation.
