At Beechnut Dental Care, we look forward to improving your dental health with our endodontic treatments in Houston.
A tooth’s structure is composed of three layers; the outermost is the enamel, followed by the dentin, and at the core lies the bundle of nerves and blood vessels called the pulp. Endodontics (Root Canal) is the dental specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the dental pulp.
The Greek word “Endodontics” literally means “inside the tooth,” and relates to the tooth pulp, tissues, nerves, and arterioles.
Although there are several endodontic procedures, by far the most common is the dreaded root canal. Root canals are necessary when bacteria penetrate the enamel and dentin through a cavity, causing an infection at the dental pulp. When this occurs, the pulp needs to be removed to prevent the infection from spreading and harming the tooth so severely that it needs to be extracted. Root canals may cause discomfort, but it is ultimately much less than the pain triggered by the infection itself.
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft inner tissue of your tooth (pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. Identifying these warning signs early can help prevent further complications and tooth loss. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consult with our dental professionals:
Even if your pain temporarily subsides, the infection likely remains active and requires treatment. Without proper intervention, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, leading to more serious complications.
Early diagnosis and treatment can often save your natural tooth! Modern root canal procedures are far more comfortable than their reputation suggests, and most patients report feeling relief from pain almost immediately after treatment.
Don’t ignore these warning signs—contact our office promptly if you experience any of these symptoms. Our experienced team will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore your oral health.
At Beechnut Dental Care, the cost of a root canal procedure ranges from $600 to $1,400. This variation is influenced by factors such as the specific tooth requiring treatment, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments that may be necessary. For instance, molars often have more canals and can be more challenging to treat, which may affect the overall cost.
Investing in root canal therapy is a proactive step toward preserving your natural tooth and maintaining overall oral health. By addressing the infection promptly, you can alleviate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and avoid the need for more extensive procedures like tooth extraction and replacement. Our team is committed to providing high-quality care and will work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your dental needs and budget. We also offer flexible payment options to ensure that essential dental care is accessible to all our patients.
Endodontic treatment (or root canal therapy) is performed to save the natural tooth. In spite of the many advanced restorations available, most dentists agree that there is no substitute for healthy, natural teeth.
