Your Flower Mound ROOT CANAL EXPERTS
Frequently Asked Questions
Root canal jitters? We've got you covered!
Modern techniques and local anesthesia ensure root canals are a comfortable experience. Many patients report feeling minimal to no discomfort during the procedure, making it less stressful than you might imagine.
Root canals and tooth strength?
It's true that larger back teeth, especially molars, can be more susceptible to fractures after a root canal due to losing their blood supply. However, this risk is minimal, and dentists often recommend a crown on back teeth after the procedure for added protection. Front teeth typically don't require crowns following a root canal.
Time is of the essence?
At Today Dental of Flower Mound, we understand your need for prompt care and prioritize your comfort. We dedicate specific slots in our schedule for same-day root canals, aiming to get you out of pain and back to your daily life as quickly as possible. In the unlikely event our office is closed, we'll collaborate with our partner clinic to connect you with immediate care.
Pain-free doesn't always mean problem-free: Understanding the hidden truth.
A crucial point to remember is that a root canal might be necessary even when you experience no pain. This often indicates the tooth is already "dead" (lacking a nerve), explaining the absence of discomfort. However, the infection inside the tooth can still spread and lead to serious complications like abscesses if left untreated. Our dentists utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, to uncover the true condition of your tooth and recommend the most effective treatment option.
Extraction vs. Root Canal?
While extracting a tooth might seem like a simpler solution initially, it can lead to significant financial burdens down the line. Replacing a missing tooth with implants or dentures can be considerably more expensive than saving the natural tooth with a root canal (and potentially a crown). Additionally, each tooth plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of your jaw, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and causing misalignment. Choosing a root canal can not only save you money but also contribute to a long-term healthy and stable smile, preserving your natural teeth for optimal chewing and aesthetics.
