A severe toothache can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus on your day. Root canal treatment removes the source of the pain while helping you keep the tooth you already have.
Your tooth has been trying to tell you something. Here are the signs worth paying attention to before things get harder to fix.
A lot of people feel nervous when they hear the words “root canal.” The reality is much less dramatic. The procedure is designed to stop pain, remove infection, and help you avoid losing a natural tooth.
One of the first questions patients ask is how much treatment will cost. The answer depends on your specific situation, the tooth involved, and whether additional restoration is needed afterwards.
It should not. We do not start until the tooth is completely numb, and most patients are surprised by how little they feel. Some tenderness for a day or two afterwards is normal and easy to manage with over-the-counter pain relief.
Plan for one to two hours for most teeth. Complex molars occasionally need a follow-up visit. We tell you upfront which situation applies so you can plan your day without guessing.
Root canal treatment cost at Frisco, TX dental offices typically ranges from $700 to $1,500, depending on the tooth and complexity. We go over every number with you before treatment starts, so nothing catches you off guard.
A properly treated tooth, followed by a good crown and regular checkups, can last the rest of your life. Skipping the crown after the root canal is where most long-term problems begin.
Tooth infections do not settle down on their own. They spread. What starts as treatable damage can become an abscess or bone infection that forces an extraction. Waiting almost always makes treatment harder and more expensive.
