Root canal treatment is a procedure aimed at removing infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. Each tooth contains a pulp, often referred to as the nerve, which can become compromised by decay or injury, leading to pain and discomfort. At Dental Studio of Melissa, Dr. Lena Khan performs comfortable, effective root canals to relieve pain and save natural teeth for patients in Melissa, TX.
A root canal may be required when a tooth is affected by severe decay or trauma, leading to pulp infection or damage. Symptoms that may indicate the need for treatment include:
Removing the infected pulp alleviates pain and prevents further complications, preserving the tooth's integrity and function. Early intervention is key to preventing the spread of infection.
The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed along with the infected pulp. The tooth's canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and filled to prevent re-infection. Finally, a crown may be placed over the tooth to fully restore its strength and function. We strive to make your root canal experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.

If someone told me I'd have a 5-star experience at a dentist of all places, I'd call them a liar. Well, I just had two.

I needed dental work that I had put off for years because I was terrified of the dentist. I thought it was going to be so painful, but it wasn't.
