What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that removes infection from inside a tooth, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth structure. When the inner pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal treatment can stop the infection from spreading and restore your oral health. At Green Dentistry of Leander, Dr. Kevin Min, DDS, and Dr. Jihoon Son, DDS, use advanced technology and gentle techniques to provide the best pain-free root canals in Leander. With precision diagnostics and modern instruments, our patients experience fast, effective relief, without the discomfort traditionally associated with this procedure.

Do You Need a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy is typically recommended when a tooth’s pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes inflamed or infected. You may need a root canal if you experience:

Severe, persistent tooth pain or pressure

Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

Swelling or tenderness in the gums

Darkening or discoloration of a tooth

A recurring pimple-like bump on the gum

What Happens During a Root Canal Procedure?

Our team ensures your comfort and peace of mind every step of the way.

Before the Procedure

We take detailed digital X-rays to locate the infection and plan your treatment. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to make the experience entirely pain-free.

DURING the Procedure

The infected pulp is carefully removed, the inner canal is cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then sealed and restored with a natural-looking crown for strength and protection.

AFTER THE PROCEDUre

You may experience mild tenderness for a day or two, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Aftercare Instructions for Root Canals

A successful root canal depends on proper aftercare. Our team provides detailed instructions, including:

Avoid chewing on the treated side until your crown is placed.

Maintain daily brushing and flossing to prevent future decay.

Use sensitive toothpaste if needed.

Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and restoration.
