Contact UsWhat Is Root Canal Therapy?
Damaged and decayed teeth are typically treated using a filling or another kind of replacement if they are detected and managed as soon as possible. Nevertheless, as the damage reaches the middle of the tooth (also known as the pulp), root canal therapy is usually required to improve oral function and prevent extraction. A root canal is a specialized service offered at OraCare Dentistry to eradicate diseased pulp tissue and close off the vulnerable tooth to regain oral function. Dr. Savitha Bathini improves infected teeth with thorough root canal treatment and provides sedation techniques to further elevate your comfort. If you have an extremely damaged or abscessed tooth, get in touch with our Plano, TX practice to learn more about the advantages of root canal therapy.

What Is the Root Canal Process?
Modern solutions are used to ensure your comfort throughout a root canal procedure. At our Plano, TX practice, root canals are done with local anesthesia, which could be offered jointly with additional sedation methods to encourage more relaxation. Once the tooth is numb, a cover will be set to safeguard the patient's mouth structures. The abscessed region will then be exposed via a tiny opening made on the top of the tooth. The pulp, which holds the neural tissue and blood supply inside of the tooth, is then extracted, and the area will be restructured with handheld endodontic instruments before being carefully disinfected. Dr. Bathini will then close off the treated tooth using a special material and finish it off with a sedative filling to begin the healing process.

She is friendly and super professional. You can tell when a person is passionate about their job, and I can tell she loves what she does. Her office is gorgeous and super clean.

About UsRoot Canal Therapy FAQs
Why is root canal therapy necessary?
Root canal therapy at OraCare Dentistry is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, becomes infected or damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, cracked or chipped teeth, repeated dental procedures, or trauma to the tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread, and the tooth may need to be extracted.
Is root canal therapy painful?
Contrary to popular belief, root canal therapy is not usually painful during the procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring that you do not feel pain during the treatment. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and typically subsides within a few days.
Can I eat normally after a root canal?
You can resume eating normally after the root canal procedure, but it's best to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the full restoration (usually a dental crown) is placed. This helps protect the tooth from further damage.
