Root Canal Treatment in
Cypress, Texas

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment that Dr. Todd provides to repair, restore, and save a severely decayed or infected tooth. When your tooth becomes damaged, inflamed, or infected, the dental pulp on the interior of your tooth breaks down and dies. This can cause toothache, swelling, drainage, pain when chewing, or sensitivity to cold or hot temperatures.

If left untreated, the damage or infection can become so severe that the tooth must be extracted. Dr. Todd performs root canals to save teeth and restore your oral health. During your root canal procedure, our dentist will remove the nerve and dental pulp. Then the inside of the tooth will be cleaned and sealed to prevent future infection. To complete your procedure, Dr. Todd will place a high-quality porcelain crown to fully restore the look, function, and strength of your tooth.
