Dentist 101 of Houston’s updated dental filling and root canal treatments restore function and integrity to teeth that have damaged structures due to decay or external trauma. Both treatments are relatively painless and can be completed in anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the location of the tooth.

Teeth decay for all kinds of reasons, but the most common are poor oral hygiene, neglect of proper dental care, and unhealthy eating and drinking habits, the team explains. If caught soon enough, decaying teeth can be restored either by inserting a filling or performing a root canal treatment, both of which Dentist 101 of Houston offers to patients in Gulfton.
“Decaying and damaged teeth are not only painful and inconvenient, they can lead to more serious health complications if left untreated,” explained a spokesperson for the practice. “Fillings and root canals are two of the most cost-effective ways of preventing further harm.”
Fillings are used to treat small to moderate cavities and minor tooth damage. The dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleans out the cavity, and then fills it with a biocompatible material. In the past mercury or silver was used to fill these cavities; however, Dentist 101 of Houston uses a composite resin that is safer and closer in appearance to enamel.
When decay or damage has reached the pulp of a tooth (the innermost part containing nerves and blood vessels) a root canal is needed. In these cases, Dentist 101 of Houston’s dentists remove the pulp, clean, disinfect, and shape the cavity, and then seal it with biocompatible composite resin. For additional support, a crown may be placed over the top of the tooth.
“After experiencing severe tooth pain, Dentist 101 of Houston informed me that I would have to get a root canal done,” said a satisfied patient. "Despite my initial fears, the procedure was remarkably smooth, and the staff was exceptionally caring and professional. I'm grateful for their expertise and compassion. My pain is gone and my tooth has been restored."
