What is Root Canal Therapy?

During root canal therapy, a root filling replaces the tooth’s damaged or contaminated dentin. The tooth’s pulp keeps it alive. In its porous center are nerves, tissue fibers, and blood arteries. One other name for the procedure of replacing or repairing damaged or infected dentin is endodontic therapy.

In most instances, endodontic treatment is effective. 90% to 95% of individuals who undergo root canal therapy will retain a functional tooth. The fixed tooth should last a very long time if you practice excellent oral hygiene, limit your sugar intake, and receive routine dental exams. A healthy tooth, however, will always outlive any treatment or replacement.

More About Root Canal Therapy

1

What Are the Causes of Root Canal?

If dentists advise you that you need a root canal, you're probably concerned about locating an affordable root canal service. In fact, root canal costs are frequently so exorbitant that paying for the procedure is frequently more excruciating than recovering from it. However, at Zara Dental, Houston, we endeavor to make endodontics painless for both the patient and their wallet. Untreated tooth decay can frequently lead to infection or inflammation of the nerve or pulp tissue of the tooth if left untreated. Additionally, multiple fillings may cause this inflammation or infection. When this occurs, a root canal treatment will be necessary. The space between the tooth and its roots is the root canal. Your dentist will remove infected and inflamed tissue from the root canal during a root canal procedure. The canal is then filled and sealed with a special material to prevent future infection or inflammation.

How Common Is Root Canal Treatment?

The American Association of Endodontists says that more than 41,000 root canals are done every day in the United States. This means that more than 15 million people get root canal treatment each year.

Recovery after Root Canal Therapy

It's crucial to look after your teeth after a root canal. Prior to the conclusion of your treatment, you should refrain from eating anything too chewy. After your last treatment, your fixed tooth should no longer be painful, but it may continue to ache for a few days. You can purchase over-the-counter analgesics like ibuprofen or paracetamol to ease any pain. If you continue to experience pain or swelling after taking analgesics, you should re-visit your dentist.

Most of the time, you can avoid having to get more root canal treatment by:

1. Taking care of your teeth by daily brushing and flossing
2. not eating too many sweet things
3. if you smoke, giving it up

Root Canal Aftercare

There are times when there are no signs that a tooth needs a root canal. Most of the time, the symptoms are:

  • Toothache during eating or chewing
  • Sensitivity to cold and hot food that lasts after drinking and eating
  • Tooth gets darker
  • Tender and Swollen gums
  • Loose Tooth
  • Swollen face or neck

People fear that they will experience tooth discomfort following a root canal. However, because our dentists will remove the infection’s source during treatment, the majority of patients will feel better immediately.

If you have throbbing pain after getting a root canal, you should call our Houston dentists immediately.

Your dental insurance or extended dental coverage may usually cover the cost of your root canal. However, if you don’t have insurance or if you are looking for more information about the cost of a specific service, please contact one of our expert Treatment Coordinators for help. They can help create an affordable payment plan so you can get the dental treatment you need in Houston.

It varies. If your operation involved nitrous oxide or local anesthetic, you might drive yourself to and from your appointment. Those who opt for IV or oral sedation, however, will not be allowed to drive themselves home.

Are You Afraid of the Dentist?

If so, here comes sedation dentistry. Thanks to the progress of dental science, you have nothing to worry about for any dental service you need, such as dental implants, tooth extraction, root canal, etc.

Call us today and give yourself the oral care and hygiene you deserve.
