The first step is to take a digital X-ray of your teeth in our Seagoville, TX office . The next thing your dentist will do is to apply local anesthesia to the treatment area. Once you are numb, the doctor will begin to drill out the damaged tooth. Then we will clean out the infected area and smooth it out. Once the infected materials are removed, we will fill the tooth with medicated dental filling material. Finally, we will build a custom dental crown to protect the tooth from further damage.
Common Symptoms for a Root Canal Procedure:
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums.

Root Canal FAQ
Typically, a root canal can take between 30 and 60 minutes.
Usually a root canal with last around 10-15 years, but there are other procedures that elongate the life of a root canal such as a crown.
Our dentist might recommend a root canal if you have severe tooth sensitivity to heat and cold. You might also need a root canal if you feel pain when you bite down on food or chew it. If you have soreness or pain in the affected tooth, this might also indicate that you have damage to the pulp. If you have pain and other symptoms that are severe enough to interfere with eating and sleeping, that usually means your pulp’s been severely damaged.
