ROOT CANAL TREATMENT TO SAVE YOUR SMILE
When a tooth becomes severely decayed, infected, or damaged, a root canal can help preserve your natural tooth and relieve pain. At 123Kerrisdale Dental Centre, we specialize in gentle, effective endodontic care, ensuring a comfortable experience while restoring the health and function of your tooth.
WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?
A root canal is a highly effective treatment that removes the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, preventing further decay or extraction. Once the infected tissue is removed, the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored with a custom dental crown for added strength and protection.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A ROOT CANAL
You may need root canal treatment if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain that worsens when chewing or applying pressure.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the temperature is removed.
Swollen or tender gums near a specific tooth.
A deep cavity or visible crack in the tooth.
Darkening or discoloration of the affected tooth.
If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to serious oral health complications, including tooth loss or spreading infection.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A ROOT CANAL
01
EXAM & DIAGNOSIS
Our dentist will assess your tooth using digital X-rays to determine the extent of the infection.
02
REMOVAL OF INFECTED PULP
The damaged nerve and pulp are carefully removed, and the tooth is thoroughly cleaned.
03
SEALING & TEMPORARY RESTORATION
The tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection and covered with a temporary filling.
04
FINAL RESTORATION WITH A DENTAL CROWN
A custom-made dental crown is placed over the tooth for long-term protection and durability.
