Whenever a cavity goes uncorrected, it leads to progressive tooth decay. Bacteria enters the pulp of the tooth from the cavity and builds up over time. The decay can create an infection inside the tooth or an abscess in the surrounding bone. Although the infected tooth can be quite painful, the process to remove the infected nerve or root canal is not painful and is the only alternative to saving the tooth.
A root canal prevents bacteria from multiplying within the pulp chamber. Once the nerve and the pulp of the tooth is removed, the possibility of further infection in the jaw or within the tooth itself is no longer an issue.
You already know that taking care of your teeth is important, but scheduling regular check-ups on your teeth can help prevent root canal situations. Drilling out a small cavity, versus removing a sizeable piece of tooth, helps your tooth in the long run.
At the Comprehensive Dental Group of Houston, we understand your need for comfort during such procedures. We go out of our way to ensure that you are in a relaxed environment and the stress from a root canal does not ruin your day.
