Root Canal Therapy
About Root Canal Therapy
MINT dentistry is a highly advanced, premier dental facility that provides comprehensive and compassionate care for a wide variety of complex conditions. Our goal is to help you achieve a gorgeous smile you feel confident flaunting, which starts with good oral health. The board-certified doctors and dental professionals at MINT dentistry recommend root canal therapy for the treatment of severely decayed teeth in situations where a dental filling is no longer a viable option. Also known as endodontic treatment, root canal therapy treats the infected tooth, preventing decay from spreading to other teeth and in most cases, preventing the need for tooth extraction. The MINT dentistry team is aware of the fear that sometimes accompanies these types of procedures. However, we want you to rest assured that we will prioritize your comfort and care by utilizing state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge techniques to complete your therapy with precision and accuracy. Our office also offers sedation dentistry to help ease fears and anxiety and help you relax during your procedure. We invite you to schedule a consultation at MINT dentistry to learn more about root canal therapy.

An infection in the pulp of a tooth can be caused by a deep crack, a cavity, or physical trauma. Some of the most common signs that you may have an infected tooth (and need to seek treatment) are tooth or jaw pain, swelling or discoloration of the gums (around the affected tooth), and changes in the color of the tooth. If the infected pulp is not removed, it will become increasingly painful as the infection spreads to other parts of your mouth. A root canal addresses the infection and stops it from spreading to other teeth or your blood stream.
MINT dentistry Reviews
The team and staff were very professional. They got me checked in and prepared for my root canal procedure in a timely manner. The doctor and assistant portrayed great teamwork throughout the entire process. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and adhered to any question or concern I had. Thank you Mint Dentistry!
Like most people, a root canal is not something you want performed; however, Dr. Rucobo and his very experienced hygienist, Carolyn, made it a great experience. I walked away with a new perspective on this procedure. Carolyn, and Dr. Rucobo is a great team. Still hate needles but even that was not bad at all. ☺️ Love the Grand Prairie location. Never a bad visit.
“Dr. Hosseini is a highly recommended and excellent doctor. He did a great job with my surgical implants, crown, and root canal treatment. Thank you so much, Dr. Hosseini.”
Following a recent dental incident where a portion of a tooth dislodged during flossing, I initially overlooked the issue. However, subsequent examination revealed the necessity of a root canal procedure. Despite prior apprehensions regarding such treatments, my personal experience proved to be entirely positive. The service received was exceptional, and my oral health has since been fully restored.
Dr. Hosseini and Mrs. Luz is a highly recommended and excellent doctor. He did a great job with my surgical implants, crown, and root canal treatment. Thank you so much to Dr. Hosseini and Mrs. Luz for the outstanding care.

Your root canal therapy appointment will begin with you settling into one of our treatment chairs, where you will be given a pair of our MINT dentistry sunglasses and offered a pair of our Beats headphones. We want you to feel at ease and relaxed while you undergo treatment, so the MINT dentistry team will help you choose the most effective and appropriate type of sedation for your root canal therapy. Many patients request nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral-conscious sedation to help them remain comfortable during a root canal.
During an endodontic procedure, one of our board-certified dentists will assess the inner chamber of your tooth and then carefully remove the infected pulp utilizing state-of-the-art tools and techniques. From there, the inside of the empty chamber will be thoroughly sterilized to remove any lingering debris. Once the tooth is cleaned, it will be filled with a special material to seal and protect the tooth. In most cases, a custom-made crown will be placed over the treated tooth to protect it.
Treatment Aftercare
Depending on what sedation was used, you may need to have a responsible adult take you home after your procedure. Your mouth may feel sensitive or swollen, but this should not last more than a few days and your doctor may prescribe a pain reliever. You should schedule a follow-up appointment for six months after your root canal. Our team will check to make sure the infection is gone and that your mouth has healed. After that, you should continue to schedule annual dental exams and bi-annual cleanings to maintain your dental health.
