Root Canal Dentist in Baytown and Humble, Texas
Typically, the tough enamel on the outside of your tooth protects its inner structure. However, when bacteria penetrate the tooth due to a deep cavity or injury, they can cause a serious infection. Root canal treatment, performed by our skilled endodontist, addresses the infection and preserves your natural tooth.
By removing the infection and sealing the tooth, we prevent the need for extraction, which can help maintain the alignment and function of your teeth. This treatment not only alleviates pain but also ensures the longevity of your dental health.
Our root canal dentist uses the latest techniques and technology to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Post-treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to promote optimal healing and prevent future issues.
