Dental Endodontic Treatment – Root Canal Therapy Dentistry Frisco, Texas
Endodontics is the area of dentistry dealing with the tooths pulp and the surrounding tissues. Located inside the tooth, the pulp contains nerves, veins, arteries, and lymph tissue. In addition to providing pain relief, endodontic therapy aims to save the natural tooth whenever possible. By preserving the tooth, endodontic treatment can prevent the problems to adjacent teeth that extraction (removing the tooth) can cause, helping maintain dental health and saving money in the long run. The treatment of choice when the damage to the dental pulp is so extensive that the tooth is unable to repair itself and has become infected is a root canal. This is the most common procedure performed to treat infections. During a root canal, the pulp and nerves of the tooth as well as bacteria and any decay are removed. The resulting cavity is sealed off with material that prevents bacteria from re-entering the tooth.
Reasons for endodontic therapy:
- Decay is affecting the tooth’s pulp
An abscess or infection has developed at the root tip or inside the tooth - Injury or trauma has caused the pulp to die, risking infection
- The tooth’s root is fractured
- Problematic tooth anatomy is threatening the health of the tooth and/or adjacent teeth
- Endodontic treatment generally takes one visit. Your tooth may be sensitive for several days following treatment, but this will diminish as the tooth heals and the inflammation subsides

01/ Tips on Food
What diet and nutritional advice can be offered for building strong teeth?
Experts agree that children need food from all the major food groups to grow properly and stay healthy. Too many carbohydrates, sugars (for example, from cake, cookies, candies, milk, fruit juice, and other sugary foods and beverages), and savory foods and starches (for example, pretzels and potato chips) can cause tooth decay. How long carbohydrates remain on the teeth is the main culprit that leads to tooth decay. Read more02/ The effects of fruit on kids teeth
The effects of fruit on kids teeth
We all know that fruit is full of vitamins and an important part of kids diets. But did you know that too much fruit (whether it’s fresh fruit, fruit juices, dried fruit or canned fruit) can have a negative effect and contribute to problems such as cavities and erosion, especially if your kids are grazing on fruit all day?
