Relieve tooth pain and protect your smile
Root canals have a tough reputation, but they’re actually one of the most effective ways to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth.
When a tooth is infected, the problem often lies within the tooth’s roots. By carefully removing the infected tissue, a root canal can prevent more severe issues like abscesses, which can lead to tooth loss and even bone damage in the jaw if left untreated.

With our Plainview root canal dentist’s expertise and state-of-the-art technology, your root canal treatment will be more comfortable than you may expect. We’ll make sure of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
With advancements in modern dentistry and the use of local anesthesia, root canal treatment is generally no more uncomfortable than having a dental filling. The procedure aims to relieve pain caused by tooth infection and not induce it.
How long does a root canal procedure take?
The duration of a root canal procedure depends on the complexity of the case and the tooth’s location. In most cases, the treatment can be completed in one or two appointments.
Is root canal treatment safe?
Root canal treatment is a standard and safe dental procedure when performed by a skilled and experienced root canal dentist. Infection within the tooth can pose serious health risks if left untreated, making root canal treatment a crucial intervention to preserve oral and overall health.
Will I need any special care after a root canal?
Following your root canal, you may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s best to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown or filling, as recommended by your dentist.
Can a root canal fail?
In rare cases, root canals may require follow-up care if an infection reoccurs. However, with proper treatment and aftercare, most root canals are highly successful and provide long-lasting relief.
