What Timely Treatment Does for You
1
Real Relief From Intense Pain
Infected teeth cause some of the worst pain in dentistry. Treating the source typically brings significant relief.
2
Your Own Tooth, Preserved
A root canal lets you keep your natural tooth, which protects your bite and may spare you from needing an implant or bridge later.
3
Infection Stays Put
Left untreated, a dental infection can spread to the jawbone, nearby teeth, and beyond. Prompt treatment helps keep it contained.
4
Lower Costs Over Time
Saving a tooth with a root canal is often less expensive than removing it and replacing it with an implant down the road.

Pflugerville Emergency Root Canal FAQs
How do I know whether I need a root canal or just a filling?
A filling repairs decay that hasn’t reached the inner pulp. If the damage or infection has gone deeper, a filling alone won’t solve it, and the infected tissue has to be removed. Lingering sensitivity, pain that starts on its own, and gum swelling are common clues. An exam and X-ray will give us a clear answer.
Does a root canal hurt, and how long does it take?
Modern root canal treatment is meant to relieve pain, not cause it. You’ll be numbed beforehand, so you should feel pressure but not pain, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication. Many root canals take around 60 to 90 minutes, though it depends on the tooth and the extent of the infection. Some patients need a second visit for the permanent crown.
What happens if I put off treatment?
The infection can spread into the surrounding bone and tissue, form an abscess, and eventually cost you the tooth. In serious cases, it can become a medical emergency. If you develop a fever, swelling in your face or neck, or trouble swallowing or breathing, go to the ER right away.
How much does an emergency root canal cost in Pflugerville?
The price depends on which tooth is affected and whether you need a crown afterward. Molars are usually more complex than front teeth. We offer payment plans so you can get treated right away and spread out the cost, and we’ll explain your options before we begin.
Will I need a crown afterward?
Usually, yes. A tooth that has had a root canal can become more brittle, so a crown is typically placed to protect it and help it last. Until the crown is in place, try to avoid chewing hard foods on that tooth.
