Root Canal Therapy in Tomball, TX

Toothaches are a vivid reminder that teeth aren't just pieces of hard tissue floating around in the gums. They're intricately formed sensory organs with layers of dentin and enamel overlaying a living pulp. Coursing through the tooth's pulp is a vital bundle of nerves and blood vessels providing nutrients and sensation to each tooth. As long as the pulp stays healthy, you're rarely aware of the systems at work.

Tooth pain can be especially alarming, but it's meant to warn you that something's not right. Pain tells us that the bundle of nerves and vessels inside your tooth is irritated, damaged, or under attack.

A deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle. In some cases, a significant infection, called an abscess, may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If Dr. Kamaya determines that the nerve won't recover or if an infection is present, then root canal therapy may be suggested.

Modern anesthetics provide powerful numbing for gentle removal of the inflamed nerve inside the tooth. The nerve canal undergoes disinfection and careful shaping, and a sealer fills the internal space. A filling or crown over the tooth helps return the tooth to its original function.

Are Root Canals Safe?

Internet articles continue to circulate claiming adverse health effects from root canals, despite years of research proving otherwise. Many of these claims rest on false theories put forward decades ago without any scientific basis. In fact, one popular Facebook article sounding a false alarm shakily rests on a 100-year-old study tossed aside long ago.

The American Association of Endodontists stays abreast of all the current and past research and can support the safety of this vital service. In fact, new techniques and materials make root canal treatment more successful than ever.

My experience at this dentist office was great. Dr. Yoshinori Kamaya was the best dentist I've ever had in my life. He was really warm and very friendly towards me and my sister. He took the time to examine our teeth and explained everything in way that it was easy to understand. The staff were also really great. They were friendly and they would ask if we were alright. We thank them for the wonderful job they did for us. :)

I have been to a few dentist offices for my children and just wasn't ever happy until the doctor I work for recommended Northampton Dental. I gave them a try and have been happy with the level of care as well as the explanation of my children's future care with their teeth. The dental hygienist are always so nice and have good sense of humor too. The front desk is also so polite and welcoming. I highly recommend!

My first visit was effective, efficient, and extremely pleasant. The staff, especially Ian where professional and kind. I left feeling well informed and encouraged by their capabilities to facilitate my extensive treatment plan. Dr. Kamaya took time to explain options to me with visual attention and detail. My initial intention was to get a second opinion but decided that this is where I wanted my treatment to be done. They even have Sunday appointments, so I don’t have to miss work. Totally recommend Northampton Dental.
