We Are good at Endodontic Treatment in Texas

If you feel pain or sensitivity when you eat, you could have a pulp infection. A tooth infection can be extremely painful. If it's not treated in time, the infection could destroy the nerves of the tooth and you might need an extraction. The root canal is the space in the center of the tooth that contains the dental pulp, a soft tissue that contains nerve endings. It extends from the crown of the tooth down to the roots. This allows bacteria to enter the pulp, which can cause severe pain and discomfort. During root canal treatment, a dentist opens the tooth to access the root canal and remove the infected tissue. After the infection has been removed, the tooth will be covered by a dental crown to restore its original look and function. This crown will be custom made by your dentist and may be matched to your natural tooth shade if preferred. We will always try to save a tooth with a root canal whenever possible The Texas City Dental in Texas City is conveniently located near t La Marque, Galveston, and Hitchcock area is conveniently located near to the HEB, and the ROSS market complex has affordable dentists for you.

                                          Taking Care Of Your Oral Health In Self Isolation

During self-isolation, make sure you are well prepared to care for your oral health. The pandemic is disrupting every area of our lives are currently, including physical activity. We can no longer simply go for a walk, visit the gym or play team sports, while the temptation is to sit at home and spend more time on the couch. However, physical inactivity is a major risk factor for developing a 

serious disease

Toothbrush Hygiene

Keep safe by making sure nobody uses each other’s toothbrushes and that they are stored well away from everybody else’s toothbrush. The damp environment of a toothbrush is ideal for spreading viruses. Use separate toothpaste as well.

Continue with Your Normal Oral Care Routine

Sticking to every day routines is important while self-isolating and particularly your dental maintenance routine. Make sure you continue to brush at least twice a day and floss once-a-day. If you 

wish, use a mouthwash for 30 seconds as this can slightly reduce the risk of spreading viruses.

Watch Your Diet

It’s a time when it’s tempting to indulge in snacks and Netflix, but try to limit your consumption of sugary or acidic foods. Instead, concentrate on eating foods that will boost your immune systems like 

vitamin-rich and nutrient-dense fruits and veggies.

Stay Active

Make sure you have some form of physical activity every day. If you can’t get outside, there are plenty of fun exercise routines online.

Drink plenty of Water

It is easy to become dehydrated and especially if you are fighting an infection. Some medications can reduce saliva flow too, so be sure to drink plenty of plain water
