Root Canal Therapy in Cypress, TX

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that treats infections in the tooth and keeps it from getting worse. Inside your tooth lies a soft tissue, which is also known as the pulp. The pulp is the soft inner part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. It helps the tooth grow and respond to hot and cold. Nevertheless, once the pulp becomes infected by decay, trauma, or cracks, it may cause pain and, consequently, abscess when it is not treated. Root canal treatment provides a way to save the rest of the tooth by removing the infected pulp.

Early detection can help save your natural tooth. Watch out for these warning signs:

• Persistent Tooth Pain: Constant discomfort that worsens when chewing or touching the tooth.
• Tooth Sensitivity: You feel a sharp and lingering sensitivity to hot and cold food items.
• Swollen or Tender Gums: There is some form of inflammation or discomfort around the affected tooth.
• Tooth Discoloration: If there has been a change in tooth color, it means the tooth has been affected or has begun to decay.
• Abscess Formation: The formation of an abscess means there has been an infection.

By regularly visiting Village Park Family Dental, you will be able to treat the problem and save your tooth.
