What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the inner area, and then filling and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
A root canal treatment is sometimes the best way to restore comfort and full functionality to your smile. Our gentle procedure will help you get back to looking and feeling your best without having to put your life on hold. Our experienced Dr. Tehrani has studied endodontics extensively and is trained in providing specialized root canal treatments. At Perfect Smiles Plano Family Dentistry, we work hard to bring you peace of mind!

Why Would I Need a Root Canal?
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. When this happens, the tooth may become extremely sensitive to both pressure and temperature, and intense pain can be expected. A dentist will typically recommend a root canal if any of the following develop:
- Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth)
- Development of infection or abscess inside the tooth or at the root tip
- Trauma or injury to the tooth
