A gentle way to save an infected tooth

What are Root Canals?

A root canal treats a tooth from the inside by removing infected or irritated pulp from the root system and sealing the space to prevent further bacterial activity. The procedure involves cleaning, shaping, and protecting the internal structure so the tooth can remain stable and free from internal infection. This treatment is important because infections inside the tooth can affect surrounding tissues if left untreated.

At The Dental Method in Dallas, TX, we perform root canal therapy with care and precision, using modern tools to make the process smooth, predictable, and focused on preserving your natural tooth. Modern root canal therapy is so efficient that it’s now comparable in comfort to getting a simple filling.

Benefits of Root Canals

Learn why our gentle, modern root canal treatments help patients find quick relief and long-term tooth stability.

  • Infection Control

    Removing infected pulp prevents bacteria from spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.

  • Natural Tooth Preservation

    Root canal treatment allows retention of the natural tooth instead of extraction.

  • Improved Structural Stability

    Internal sealing supports tooth integrity when paired with appropriate restorations.

Who Needs Root Canals?

Root canal treatment is required when infection or inflammation reaches the inner pulp of a tooth. This often occurs after deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures and may present with lingering pain, sensitivity, or swelling. Some patients may not experience severe symptoms initially, making evaluation essential when changes are detected on X-rays.

Root canal therapy becomes necessary to address internal tooth damage while preserving the remaining tooth structure.

Care from the Inside Out

Precision-Guided Root Canal Technology

Root canal technology has evolved to prioritize precision and preservation rather than aggressive removal. At The Dental Method, digital imaging helps map the internal anatomy of the tooth before treatment begins, providing a clearer understanding of canal shape and depth.

Specialized rotary instruments then clean and shape the canals with controlled movement, allowing infected tissue to be removed efficiently while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding structure. Advanced sealing materials are used to protect the cleaned space, creating a stable internal environment that supports long-term tooth retention and function.

FROM CONSULT TO RESULTS, IT'S SIMPLE

What to Expect During Your Visit

The appointment begins with imaging and numbing to ensure comfort. The infected tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned and sealed. Temporary or permanent restorations may be placed depending on the treatment plan. Post-visit instructions are reviewed to support healing.

  • Before Your Appointment

    • Eat before the visit since anesthesia limits eating afterward
    • Take prescribed medications exactly as directed before treatment
    • Plan light activities afterward to allow proper rest comfortably
  • After Your Appointment

    • Avoid chewing on treated tooth until fully restored safely
    • Expect temporary soreness for several days after treatment
    • Follow instructions regarding crowns or final restorations placement
