Root Canal For Your Tooth!

Root Canal

Know More About Root Canal Treatment in Kingwood

Root canal therapy is that process that aids in repairing and saving a damaged or infected tooth instead of simply extracting it. A tooth mainly has two parts - a crown and the roots. The upper visible part that contains the chewing surface is the crown and the lower part which finally embeds inside the gums, is the root. The process of root canal therapy (RCT) actually involves removing the infected or damaged area of the tooth and then cleaning and disinfecting it.


When the pulp of your tooth gets infected to such an extent that it spreads till the site where the roots penetrate your gums, a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is required. The pulp is actually a collection of blood vessels, nerve tissue and other cells, that is protected by the outer hard shell (your tooth roots!)

Symptoms that hint at the need for a root canal:

  • Pain and a tingling sensation that lingers for more than 10 seconds, after eating hot or cold food
  • Swelling or redness in the gums that might hint at an infection
  • Acute sensitivity to biting or even a sudden touch
  • Pain that feels like a throbbing heartbeat

Root canals are also called “endodontic treatment.” A root canal can save a tooth that would have otherwise required extraction due to infection.

So, What Are The Benefits Of A Root Canal Procedure?

  • It helps mitigate the pain
  • Prevents chances of a tooth extraction
  • Prevents the Bacteria from spreading
  • Prevents the formation of Abscess
  • Protects the adjacent tooth from getting infected too

Your root canal procedure would involve a number of steps. The good news is, there is no pain involved. Steps that are followed by our dentist in order to perform your RCT are –

  • Examine the affected tooth and go through its X-Rays properly.
  • Apply a local anesthesia into your affected tooth.
  • A dental dam is then placed over the affected tooth for isolating it and keeping it safe from your saliva.
  • Make an opening to get access to the pulp. It could be through the back of a front tooth or the crown of a molar or pre-molar also.
  • The pulp chambers are cleaned and sterilized too in order to prepare it for the filling.
  • The canal is then filled with some kind of gutta percha material.

We have often come across patients who become anxious when they hear the word “Root Canal”. With our advanced anesthesia options and surgical procedures, your root canal therapy would seem as comforting as a dental filling. There is absolutely no need for you to get tensed before you come in for the procedure. Your dentists will take care of everything.

Reception was kind and efficient during new patient setup and post-appointment scheduling. Dr. MJ and her assistant were kind, informative, and skilled throughout the procedures with the right balance of knowledge and experience to provide exceptional care. There was never any point where I felt unsafe or disregarded. All financial matters were very transparent and explained well. Based on my experience today, I highly recommend this practice.

I am finally writing a review about a year after going. My visit to this dentist felt like I was on Candid Camera. The “hygenist” used a toothbrush to “clean” my teeth instead of what typical dentist offices use. She did not seem to know how to use the xray machine. When she tried to use the suction tool, the tip flew past my face nearly hitting me. At the end, the dentist came in briefly to let me know I needed multiple procedures done. I have never had any issues with my teeth. I finally got into a local reputable dentist and none of the issues Floss presented were not any issues at all. I would advise to click on each of the positive reviews and see where the reviewers reside. I would guess they are paid reviews and none live in KW.

My wife got 1 crown from here and a year later the crown fell off. She was pregnant at the time it fell off and decided to wait till after the birth of our child to go back and get it fixed due to prevent harming the baby from possible x rays. Once she called, the person on the phone said that they could not help her due to she is no longer a patient of theirs due to not going to her routine cleaning. So, she would first have to pay for a consultation and then would make a plan to get it fixed which would be an additional cost. Not liking the service we called another dentist and the dentist told us we should call back because most crowns have a 5 year warranty and should still be covered to get it fixed. After she called FLOSS, the person said they don’t have warranties. If you need a crown done , you should avoid this place because they don’t stand behind their service. *Follow up* It has been a year not years as stated by FLOSS. Please see how inconsiderate they are about the situation. Ofcourse an evaluation is needed to see if there are any other issues but for this dental office to not take in consideration the pregnancy and label my wife as “not a patient of theirs” due to not going to routine clean ups and want to charge as an out of patient for the consultation and will be an additional charge to fix ‘their’ work due to the warranty doesn’t apply to my wife anymore due for not doing routine check ups due to her pregnancy shows where their priorities are, $$$. Beware future customers.

I love this dental office, Dr. Santos is very sweet and her assistants are always going above and beyond to give the best experience getting treatment done. I recommend coming here for all your dental needs and they really do work around your schedule. Especially when I work a full week and it’s hard finding offices open on the weekend.
