Pain that lingers
Sensitivity that continues after hot or cold is removed can be a sign that the nerve inside the tooth is inflamed.
Pain when biting
Pressure pain, throbbing, or tenderness around a tooth may point to infection or inflammation near the root.
Swelling or a bump
Swelling, drainage, or a small bump on the gum should be evaluated promptly, even if the pain comes and goes.
Root canal treatment in Plainview for infected or painful teeth
Root canal therapy treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth. The damaged pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed so it can be restored. When the tooth is restorable, root canal treatment can help you avoid extraction and keep your natural bite.

Your visit starts with a diagnosis, not a sales pitch
Tooth pain can come from several causes: deep decay, a crack, gum problems, bite trauma, sinus pressure, or an old dental restoration. Dr. Tishbi evaluates your symptoms, tests the tooth, and reviews imaging before recommending treatment. If a root canal is not the right answer, you will be told that clearly.
Comfort is planned into the appointment
The tooth is numbed before treatment begins, and the team explains what to expect before each step. Most root canal appointments feel similar to other dental procedures once the area is numb. Afterward, some soreness is normal while the tooth and surrounding tissues settle.
What happens after the root canal
After endodontic treatment, most back teeth need a final restoration from your general dentist, often a crown, to protect the tooth from fracture. Plainview Endodontics coordinates with your dentist so the next step is clear.

Common Questions
How do I know if I really need a root canal?
You cannot know for certain from symptoms alone. Lingering sensitivity, biting pain, swelling, and spontaneous tooth pain are warning signs, but testing and imaging are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Many root canal treatments are completed in one visit, often around 60 to 90 minutes. Complex teeth, retreatment, or infection patterns may require more time or more than one visit.
Will I be able to drive afterward?
Most patients can drive after routine root canal treatment with local anesthesia. If your case requires anything different, the office will tell you before the appointment.
Do I need a crown afterward?
Many molars and premolars need a crown or other final restoration from your general dentist after root canal therapy. That final restoration helps protect the tooth long term.
Do you accept insurance?
The office works with many PPO dental plans and can help verify benefits before your visit. Financing options are also available.
Do not keep guessing about tooth pain
A focused endodontic evaluation can tell you whether the tooth needs root canal treatment and what the next step should be.
