Root canal treatments don’t really deserve their bad reputation
any more! And if you’re already a patient at Dr. Shirley
Cagle’s dental office in the Woodlands, then you know we can keep
you comfortable and nearly pain-free no matter what treatment we’re giving you.
Why would I need root
canal therapy?
The pulp cavity and root canals of your tooth contain the blood
vessels and nerves that your tooth needs to thrive. If these tissues become
injured or diseased, infection can set in and root canal therapy will be
needed. Remember a root canal is a way to save your natural tooth. That’s the
most important thing, and why you want to get here as soon as possible if you
start to experience any pain, swelling, or inflammation in a tooth.
How does Dr. Cagle
perform a root canal?
First, we remove any diseased or damaged
tissue and thoroughly clean out all bacteria, infection, or debris. You may
need time to heal, but in some cases, root canals can be completed in a day.
The next step is to fill the root canals to replace the tissue and seal out
bacteria.
Once the root canals have been filled, we’ll reinforce and
protect your tooth by placing a porcelain crown over it.
At our dental office at the Woodlands, we use several
different methods to keep you relaxed, comfortable, and out of pain. If you
have questions about your root canal treatment, please call us at 855.251.4554
and let us know and we’ll be glad to discuss any concerns you may have.
