Root Canal Treatment in Yonge and Eglinton
A root canal treats the nerve inside your tooth when it becomes inflamed or irritated due to trauma or decay. If you do not get the tooth treated, the infection will cause an abscess, leading to swelling of the face and neck and bone loss around the tooth’s roots.
Are you experiencing extreme tooth pain? This is a sign that you have a tooth infection, and leaving this infection untreated is dangerous because the infection will spread to your other teeth and the rest of your body.
If you are in Yonge and Eglinton, there is no reason to fear getting a root canal; our dentists will take care of you. When we perform the root canal, it will prevent further tooth decay, eliminate your pain, and get you feeling better again.
People usually associate root canals with excruciating pain during treatment, but this is further from the truth. Our dentists that serve Yonge and Eglinton patients use a local anesthetic to numb your tooth, and the procedure becomes virtually painless.
The dentist numbs your affected tooth. Once your tooth is numb, the dentist makes a small opening in the tooth crown to access the infected interior. The dentist removes the infection inside the tooth using special instruments and reshapes the interior of the tooth.
Once the dentist removes the infection in your tooth and reshapes the interior, the tooth canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. Your dentist closes the access opening they made using a build-up material. The dentist will make a dental crown to finalize the treatment for your tooth.
