WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?
A root canal is a common and effective way to save a tooth that’s been damaged by deep decay or infection. At our Allen, TX office, we gently remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, then fill and seal it to prevent future problems. This treatment relieves pain, protects your tooth, and helps you avoid an extraction.
If you’re in pain or feeling anxious, you’re not alone — and a root canal might be exactly what you need to feel like yourself again. This gentle, routine procedure doesn’t just stop the pain — it saves your natural tooth and restores your smile. With today’s techniques, most patients say it’s easier than getting a filling — and the relief is often felt almost immediately.
If you’re experiencing pain in your teeth, don’t wait any longer. Schedule an appointment with us today and let us help you get back to feeling your best.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER HAVING A ROOT CANAL
After your root canal, the area around the treated tooth will be numb for a few hours. During this time, avoid eating anything that requires chewing to prevent accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
Once the numbness wears off, it’s completely normal to feel some soreness or tenderness when chewing for 24 to 48 hours. This discomfort is caused by inflammation from the procedure and should gradually improve.
To ease any soreness, you can take Advil (ibuprofen) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) as directed.
If your discomfort lasts longer than expected, worsens, or you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to call our office or reach out through the contact form to speak with the doctor directly. We’re here to help you feel better, every step of the way.
