Root Canal Therapy in Allen, TX

Relieve Pain and Protect Your Smile

If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal. At Dayglow Dentistry of Allen, we provide comfortable, effective root canal therapy designed to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth.

Thanks to modern technology and gentle techniques, root canals are no longer something to fear — most patients compare them to getting a simple filling.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

A root canal is a dental treatment that removes infection from the inside of a tooth. This area, called the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected, it can cause pain, swelling, or even tooth loss if left untreated.

During treatment:

1. The infected pulp is carefully removed.
   
2. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
   
3. The space is filled and sealed to prevent future infection.
   
4. A crown is often placed for strength and protection.
   

This type of procedure falls under endodontics, the branch of dentistry focused on treating the inside of teeth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Not every toothache requires a root canal, but common signs include:

• Severe, lingering tooth pain
  
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
  
• Swelling around the tooth or gums
  
• A tooth that looks darkened or discolored
  
• Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
  

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to see Dr. Kim right away for an exam.
