UnderstandingtheImportanceofRootCanalTherapy
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling? Root canal therapy is a safe and effective treatment designed to save a tooth that is infected or severely damaged, preventing the need for extraction.
A damaged or infected tooth can cause significant pain and, if left untreated, may lead to further oral health complications: Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the area, and seals it to prevent further damage. This treatment allows your natural tooth to continue functioning while protecting your oral health.
- Infection can spread to surrounding teeth and gums
- Pain and sensitivity may worsen over time
- Tooth loss may occur if the damage is severe
- Chewing, speaking, and bite function can be affected
WhatHappensDuringaRootCanalTherapyAppointment?
At Ottawa Dental Center, root canal therapy is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind:
ComprehensiveExamination&Planning
Your dentist evaluates the affected tooth and surrounding area using X-rays to determine the extent of infection and plan the procedure.
Anesthesia&ToothPreparation
Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience. The tooth is accessed and cleaned to remove infected pulp and bacteria.
Cleaning&Shaping
The canals inside the tooth are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to prepare for sealing.
Filling&Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection, and the tooth is sealed. A crown is often placed afterward to restore strength, function, and appearance. Root canal therapy is minimally invasive and preserves your natural tooth, allowing you to maintain your bite and smile.
