Achieving a Confident Smile

Dentist McKinney

At McKinney Dentistry, we prioritize the preservation of your natural teeth through essential treatments like root canal therapy. This procedure is vital for saving a tooth that has become inflamed or infected at its core. Inside each tooth lies a soft substance comprising nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, crucial for nourishing and fortifying the tooth. However, when decay breaches the enamel, this pulp can become infected, leading to uncomfortable symptoms.

Symptoms of a Pulp Infection:

  • Visible swelling of the tooth
  • Significant sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Pain in the tooth and surrounding gums

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to contact us for a consultation with Dr. Svetlana Perry.

DID YOU KNOW…

Root canal therapy has a success rate of over 95% and is a preferable alternative to tooth extraction because it allows you to keep your natural tooth. By preserving your tooth, you maintain your natural bite, which benefits your oral health and appearance.

How It Works

Dentist McKinney

Consultation and Diagnosis

Schedule a visit for an initial examination to determine if root canal therapy is right for you.

Preparing for the Procedure

We will provide local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

Removing the Infected Pulp

The infected tooth pulp is carefully removed from the tooth chamber, and the canals are cleaned with a disinfecting solution.

Protecting the Tooth

A temporary filling is placed over the treated tooth to protect it until the full restoration is complete.

Aftercare

The tooth may be sensitive for a few days post-procedure. We will recommend medications to help relieve any symptoms. Avoid using the treated tooth when eating until the full restoration is done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dentist McKinney

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. This treatment involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it.

Many patients are concerned about pain. With modern techniques and anesthesia, most people feel little to no pain during the procedure. Discomfort after the treatment can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

A typical root canal procedure can take between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the problem

It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions, which usually include avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until after the permanent restoration is complete. Good oral hygiene andregular dental visits are crucial to the success of your root canal treatment.
