Root Canals Can Save a Painful Tooth

Root canals are a way to help relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and improve the health of your teeth. Many patients are relieved to learn the treatment is not too different from the experience of having a cavity filled.

If you have any questions about getting a root canal or are anxious about the procedure, our friendly team is here to answer them and help ease your nerves, helping make you feel comfortable in our care.

Why You Might Require a Root Canal

If your dentist detects signs of infection or inflammation of the pulp inside a tooth during an exam, they may recommend a root canal as a way to fix the pain caused by the infection while preserving your tooth. 

Common signs and symptoms of an infected tooth can include:

• Persistent tooth pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Tooth discolouration
• Inflamed gums
• A chipped or cracked tooth
• A loosened tooth

While in some cases, a tooth extraction might be warranted, we typically recommend taking action to save the tooth if at all possible. Removing a tooth can lead to the need for additional, more complex dental procedures.
