Emergency Root Canal Therapy in Plano TX
A deep tooth infection can cause sharp, lingering pain that keeps you from eating, sleeping, or focusing at work. The good news: a root canal can stop the pain and save your natural tooth. At Emergency Dental Clinics of Plano, we provide same-day evaluations and urgent care when your tooth needs help right now.
When You Might Need a Root Canal
Call us if you notice:
Pain that lingers with hot or cold foods/liquids
Throbbing or pressure when biting down
A bubble or pimple on the gum near one tooth
Facial swelling or tenderness close to a single tooth
A tooth that suddenly gets dark or “feels too tall”
What Happens During an Emergency Root Canal
Comfort First
We numb the area so you remain comfortable from start to finish.
Clean the Source
We remove infected tissue inside the tooth, then clean and shape the canals.
Seal & Protect
The canals are sealed to help prevent reinfection. Depending on the tooth’s condition, we’ll place a temporary or permanent crown to restore strength and function.
Most people are surprised by how manageable treatment feels — and how quickly their pain eases afterward.
Why Do a Root Canal Instead of an Extraction?
Keeping your natural tooth helps protect your bite and jaw health. Removing a tooth can lead to shifting, bite changes, and the need for more complex (and costly) replacement options down the road. If the tooth is savable, a root canal is often the most tooth-conserving solution.
Same-Day Access, Clear Costs
We prioritize same-day scheduling and evening options. You’ll get transparent pricing up front and insurance estimates before treatment. We accept most PPO plans, CareCredit, and prompt-pay options.
Aftercare & Recovery
Mild tenderness is common as your tooth settles. We’ll share simple home-care instructions, review foods to avoid briefly, and schedule any follow-up needed for final restoration.
Don’t try to “tough it out.” Infection rarely improves on its own. Call (972) 421-2616 and we’ll help you today.
