Root Canal
Are You in Pain?
If you are in acute pain and suspect you have an infected root canal, we will see you as soon as possible. Just call My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental in Rowlett, TX.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, often called a "root canal," is a procedure to remove bacteria that has reached the soft interior of a tooth. Our dentists perform a root canal to eliminate the source of the infection and save your tooth.
Using the latest advances and local anesthetics, the dentists at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental in Rowlett, TX, make root canal treatment virtually painless and a better solution than the alternative, which requires extracting the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant, dental bridge, or a removable partial denture.
How a Root Canal Infection Attacks Your Tooth
Is a Tooth Bothering You? Early Signs of Infection
Acute pain is an obvious sign that you may need root canal therapy. But there are also sometimes earlier signals that the pulp inside a tooth's root canals is infected. Early intervention lets you avoid the acute pain that accompanies a root canal infection and helps prevent the loss of more tooth tissue. Pay attention if you notice signs such as:
- Toothache
- Sensitivity to heat or cold
- Swelling in your gums or face
- Sudden, persistent bad taste
- Pimple on the gum
- Loose tooth
A Root Canal Can Save Your Tooth Call for a Consultation
A root canal infection can be extremely painful and, without timely treatment, can lead to the loss of the tooth. In severe cases, it can spread throughout the mouth or even into the bloodstream.
Like an endodontist, Dr. José Montoya, Dr. Ashley Ramsey, and Dr. Neha Khanolkar, at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental in Rowlett, TX, use the latest tools, such as cone-beam scanners and lasers, to diagnose and treat patients quickly and gently.
We also understand that the cost of unexpected root canal care can be a burden. We want you to know that we can work with virtually any budget. Don't let cost make you put off necessary dental care for your teeth. Request a consultation:

"Best Dental Office I've Ever Been To"

First off, it’s been 10+ years since my husband or I have been to the dentist. That being said, the staff was encouraging, ready to teach and judgment free. Very personable staff! Everyone is very organized. Staff is very patient and makes sure all questions are answered. A relaxing environment. Myself, my husband and my 3 kids definitely have a dental home.

Best dental office I’ve ever been to and I’ve lived in Michigan, North Carolina, California, and Florida. They have a kids and adult side and both are absolutely phenomenal. Words can’t put into perspective the level of work, care, and customer service. You have to stop by and see for yourself.

The cost of a root canal can vary for a number of reasons, such as the severity of the damage to the tooth or the type of crown required to protect the treated tooth. To get a realistic quote based on your needs, we suggest requesting a consultation.
The dentists at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental are sensitive to costs and we go out of our way to make pricing competitive. Our team will provide an estimated cost for the procedure and help you determine how much your insurance may cover. We also accept CareCredit financing so payments can be made in budget-friendly, monthly installments.
You will be surprised how affordable it can be to save your teeth.
What If the Pain Has Stopped?
Infection of the pulp in the root canal does not heal on its own. If the pain has stopped, this means that the nerve inside the tooth has died. Unfortunately, the infection remains and, if not treated, can still spread to your jaw and throughout your body. In extreme cases, a root canal infection can lead to death.
Getting a root canal early can preserve your tooth tissue and avoid a tooth extraction, which could lead to more expensive dental treatments such as a dental bridge or dental implant to restore your oral health.

Does Getting a Root Canal Hurt?
Root canal pain can be excruciating but the intense pain comes from the infection, not the dental procedure. Root canal treatment actually relieves the pain.
Modern pain management techniques have made endodontic treatment relatively painless. Yes, there is soreness after you've had a root canal, but this can be managed by using over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers as directed.
Do you want the truth about the root canal procedure? The truth is, it hurts much more to do nothing about infected pulp. And if an abscess develops, you're putting your overall health at risk.
If your teeth are sore or sensitive, contact our team for an exam as soon as possible. We'll get rid of the infected dental pulp and help you feel much better in the process.
Concerned about Pain? Your Comfort Is Our Priority
Although our use of local anesthetic makes treatment of root canals as painless as fixing a cavity, we understand that many people are still afraid of the treatment. If you have a low threshold for pain or are anxious about dental visits anyway, we offer a number of sedation options so that you can be comfortable throughout treatment.

I'm very satisfied with my daughter's care by Dr. Ramsey. My baby had to have caps and a mini root canal. She was very afraid and agitated but GiGi worked her magic and helped me get her relax. Dr. Ramsey is very patient and thorough. I highly recommend their office.
