ROOT CANAL INFECTION Richmond, TX

Save Your Natural Tooth with Comfortable Root Canal Care

illustration

If you are dealing with constant tooth pain or heightened sensitivity, you may have an infection inside the tooth that requires a root canal. At Nu Dentistry Richmond, we take pride in offering gentle and effective root canal therapy that focuses on comfort, efficiency, and complete relief.

A root canal is a routine procedure that removes infection from inside the tooth and allows us to save it rather than extract it. With modern tools and minimally invasive techniques, the treatment is typically painless and helps restore strength, function, and long-term health. After the infection is cleared, a custom crown is placed to protect the tooth and support a natural appearance.

If you are in discomfort or suspect an infection, do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Schedule an appointment with our Richmond team today.

TOOTH NERVE PAIN Richmond, TX

Do You Need a Root Canal?

Signs You May Have an Infected Tooth

A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of the tooth is infected or damaged. This may occur from:

  • Deep decay
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
  • Trauma or injury

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Discomfort when chewing
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Darkening of the tooth
  • A small bump on the gums near the affected tooth
  • Sudden relief from severe pain, which may signal nerve damage

Some infections produce little to no early symptoms. If the pain stops suddenly, contact us right away since this may mean the nerve has died. Early treatment prevents serious complications.

What Happens During a Root Canal

Your Visit, Step by Step

Our goal is to make the process efficient and comfortable. Treatment usually happens in two visits.

First Visit: Removing the Infection

  • We begin with local anesthesia so you remain comfortable.
  • The infected pulp and nerve tissue are removed.
  • The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
  • A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth.

Second Visit: Restoring Strength

  • A custom crown is placed to protect the tooth and restore function.
  • Your tooth returns to normal use with renewed strength and stability.

Thanks to modern equipment and a gentle approach, the experience is similar in comfort to receiving a filling. Our priority is to keep you relaxed throughout the entire process.

FAQs

Providing Clarity on Common Queries

  • Thanks to modern technology and effective numbing methods, most patients feel very little discomfort during a root canal. Many describe the experience as similar to getting a routine filling. The goal of the procedure is to remove the source of the pain, not create more of it.

  • With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a tooth that has been treated with a root canal can last for many years. In many cases, it can remain healthy for a lifetime.

  • After your treatment, daily brushing, flossing, and routine checkups are the best ways to keep the tooth healthy. Following any aftercare instructions provided by your dentist will also support smooth healing and long term success.

  • A root canal removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, which can make the outer structure more fragile. A crown adds strength, protects the tooth from future damage, and restores full function so you can chew comfortably.
