Dental Endodontics in Irving, TX

It treats the inside of a tooth when the nerve is inflamed or infected. We clean and shape the canals, disinfect the area, and seal it so the tooth can stay comfortable and functional.

Common signs include lingering hot/cold sensitivity, pain when chewing, swelling, or a pimple on the gums. An exam and X-rays confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes of pain.

You’re thoroughly numbed. Most people feel pressure, not sharp pain. Soreness for a day or two is typical and managed with over-the-counter pain relief and gentle chewing.

Back teeth often need extra strength after treatment. A crown helps prevent cracks and restores normal chewing. We’ll recommend one if the remaining tooth structure is weak.

Infection can spread, pain can worsen, and the bone around the tooth may be damaged. Timely care protects your health and usually saves the tooth.

With a proper restoration and routine checkups, many last for years. Good home care and avoiding chewing ice or hard objects also protect the tooth.

Sometimes a previously treated tooth develops new issues. We can evaluate for retreatment or other options. The team at Sterling Dental Center will explain the pros and cons clearly.
