Root Canal Treatment in Pflugerville, TX | Pecan St Dental

Endodontic root canal treatment often saves severely painful, infected teeth from extraction. This dental procedure eliminates diseased pulp tissue and bacteria to relieve symptoms. With advanced technologies and techniques, Dr. Prab performs comfortable, successful root canals at Pecan St Dental in Pflugerville.

The Imperative of Root Canal Therapy 

The soft pulp inside each tooth contains nerves and blood vessels. If decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work irritate or inflame the pulp, excruciating toothaches and sensitivity result. Pulp infection can spread into surrounding bone and tissues, forming abscesses. Without treatment, the tooth dies. 

Root canal therapy eliminates infection to save the tooth. The dentist or endodontist numbs the area and then drills into the tooth and pulp chamber. Using tiny instruments, they remove all infected and dead pulp from the canals and interior root system. After thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting, the space gets sealed. A temporary filling is placed, followed later by a durable dental crown. With the infection resolved, pain and symptoms are relieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a root canal involve?

After numbing the area, the dentist or endodontist accesses the tooth pulp by drilling through the crown. Using specialized tools, they remove the entire infected or dead pulp tissue from the inner root canals and chamber. The space then gets disinfected, shaped, filled, and sealed. A temporary patch is placed until a permanent dental crown restores the tooth.

Root canal therapy eliminates infection to save the tooth and requires periodontal care.

How long does root canal recovery take?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort and heal quickly after root canal therapy with current techniques. They can resume normal activity immediately. Using ice packs and over-the-counter medicine for the first day aids healing.

When do you need a root canal?

Root canal treatment is necessary when tooth decay, injury, cracks, or prior dental work causes irreversible pulp inflammation or infection. Symptoms requiring prompt root canal therapy include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, throbbing pain, swelling, and abscesses.
