Root Canals

• Deep Decay: If a cavity is left untreated, it can eventually reach the pulp of the tooth and cause infection.
• Trauma: If a tooth is cracked or fractured, it can expose the pulp and lead to infection.
• Repeated Dental Procedures: If a tooth has undergone multiple dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, it may be more vulnerable to infection and require root canal treatment.
• Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to the formation of pockets between the teeth and gums, which can become infected and spread to the pulp of the tooth.

Root Canal Treatment at Westside Dentistry

At Westside Dentistry in El Paso, TX, we offer root canal treatment to help our patients maintain optimal oral health. Our experienced dental team uses the latest techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and stress-free root canal experience for our patients.

During a root canal procedure, we will:

• Numb the area around the affected tooth with a local anesthetic.
• Create an opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp.
• Remove the infected or damaged pulp.
• Clean and shape the inside of the tooth.
• Fill the space with a biocompatible material.
• Place a filling or crown to protect the tooth.

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your tooth after the procedure to ensure the best possible outcome.
