Root Canal Treatment in Frisco, TX
Family Dentist Frisco
Root canal treatment is necessary when the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected tooth while preventing reinfection and saving the natural tooth. This is done by removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it. Saving the natural tooth has many advantages, including a natural appearance, efficient chewing, and the protection of surrounding teeth.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that removes the inflamed or infected pulp in a tooth. This helps save the natural tooth, relieve discomfort, and prevent reinfection.
How long does a root canal take?
The length of a root canal depends on how many roots your tooth has and how bad the infection is. On average, a root canal takes 30 to 60 minutes, or around 90 minutes in more severe or complex cases. This procedure typically requires one or two appointments to complete.
Do root canals hurt?
Dentists use local anesthesia during the root canal procedure so that you won’t feel any pain. Essentially, the procedure will actually take away the pain by removing the infection. This is why pain associated with root canals is actually experienced before the procedure starts due to the infection and inflammation of the tooth.
Can you eat after a root canal?
Patients can eat after the root canal procedure is completed, however, it’s recommended to wait until the anesthetic has worn off to avoid the risk of biting your cheek or tongue. You should also avoid food that might bother your sensitive tooth, such as chewy, sticky, or crunchy foods.
Though root canals have a bad reputation, believe it or not, they can be quick and comfortable! In fact, Dr. Rahman has 4 root canals of his own, so he understands what measures should be taken to guarantee a positive experience. At Frisco Dental Studio, root canals are painless and methodically completed to ensure long-term health and comfort for your tooth. Rather than provoking pain, this procedure helps relieve any discomfort and maintain your natural teeth.
If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, it’s recommended to visit the dentist as soon as you start noticing symptoms. This increases the chance of saving the natural tooth and preventing the infection from spreading, while also minimizing the discomfort associated with the infection.

“My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Rahman for years. We started our journey when he used to work in Rowlett, then followed him to McKinney and Aubrey. We are so excited to hear that he is finally opening his own practice in Frisco.
He has done multiple root canals and crowns on me and did an implant for my husband. We have both been amazed at how comfortable we have been through all our procedures.”
– Teressa A.
“I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rahman for almost an entire year as he helped fix my upper and lower teeth after I had an accident and caused a lot of trauma. It was a long journey but I am so glad I put my trust in someone who was not only skilled but kind and caring.
Our family has kept in touch with him over the years and we are looking forward to his new office being closer to our home.”
– Nguyen T.
“I have been scared of the dentist my whole life. When I met Dr. Rahman 3 years ago, my mouth was a mess. I had avoided going to the dentist for years and was dreading my first visit. I still remember the first thing he said to me was, “It’s a judgement free space” and that we would start our dental journey at a pace that I was comfortable with. I never once felt pressured or judged. It took about 8 months for us to get my gums and teeth fixed up and we have been coming to him ever since.”
