Our Pickering dentists perform routine root canals to relieve pain or symptoms caused by a damaged tooth nerve, and to help repair a tooth's function.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is typically a safe and effective dental procedure during which your dentist removes damaged pulp from the interior of the tooth, preventing the need for an extraction.
The Root Canal Procedure
During a root canal procedure, your dentist will remove the damaged pulp of your tooth, including blood vessels and nerves.
Next, they will thoroughly clean the space and fill it with medicated dental materials.
Then, your dentist will fill in the space with a dental filling, or cover it with a crown to help repair the tooth's function.
Contact your dentist to make an appointment to see if you need a root canal. They will be able to diagnose and treat the issue.
Signs & Symptoms
You may need a root canal if you experience any of the following issues:
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums
- Sensitivity to hot and cold
- Severe toothache pain
- Swelling and/or tenderness
