At Glenashton Dental Centre, we provide expert root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) to save teeth affected by deep decay, injury, or infection. A root canal is necessary when the pulp or nerve inside a tooth becomes damaged or dies, which, if left untreated, can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and permanent damage to the surrounding bone.
You may require a root canal if you experience:
Root canal treatment is performed by a dentist or an endodontist, a specialist trained in treating the inside of teeth. An X-ray is usually required to examine the tooth and determine the extent of the infection.
Depending on the severity, treatment may require one or more visits. If multiple visits are necessary, a temporary filling will be placed to protect the tooth until the procedure is complete. Once the root canal is finished, your tooth will look and function normally. With proper home care and regular dental check-ups at Glenashton Dental Centre, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.
