By the end of the procedure, you will have a healthy tooth that will get you smiling again.
What Causes a Tooth Infection?
When you have a cavity on your tooth that is left untreated, the decay will spread past the enamel into the pulp. Likewise, if you have a crack in your tooth that is left untreated, bacteria will enter and inflame the pulp. Your tooth houses living tissue including blood vessels and nerves, so when your tooth becomes infected, there will be swelling and pressure, and you will experience sharp pains. If the issue is not addressed, the infection can spread to peripheral tissues, including your jawbone. With root canal therapy, we can disinfect your tooth and save you from a total tooth extraction.

Gentle and Effective Care at Austin 3D Dental
We’re here to help relieve your dental pain and keep you informed throughout the entire process. During your procedure, an anesthetic will be applied and your tooth will be cleaned and disinfected. In some cases, the procedure may require more than a single visit. We will then seal off the canal and give you a permanent filling or dental crown to protect the tooth. With our skilled dental team, you will experience gentle care with quality results.
