01 – Warning Signs
How do you know if you may need a root canal?
These signs do not always mean a root canal is needed, but they are worth having examined:
Tooth pain that lingers instead of fading
Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
Sensitivity to hot or cold that continues after the trigger is gone
A tooth that has darkened compared with its neighbours
Pain when biting or chewing on one tooth
A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums near a tooth
02 – What It Is
Root canal treatment at 6ix Eglinton Dental
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that can no longer be predictably restored, or that is causing problems for the teeth and gums around it. Removal is never the starting assumption: the dentist examines the tooth first, and imaging may be needed to see the roots and the surrounding bone.
Root canal treatment is performed at 6ix Eglinton Dental. It is one possible outcome of an examination, not the starting point: not every painful tooth needs a root canal, and suitability is determined after the dentist has examined the tooth, with X-rays taken when needed.
The number of visits depends on the tooth and the treatment plan, and the dentist explains what your case involves before treatment begins.
03 – Why Treat the Tooth
How root canal treatment helps
The purpose of root canal treatment is to deal with the source of the problem – the inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth – rather than only easing the symptoms. Once the inside of the tooth has been cleaned and sealed, treatment may allow you to keep the natural tooth instead of removing it.
Not every toothache needs a root canal. The tooth is examined first.
Keeping a natural tooth, when it is realistic to do so, can help preserve your bite and avoid the separate question of replacing a missing tooth. After treatment, the tooth may need a restoration to protect it; depending on the tooth, the dentist may discuss a filling or a crown as the finishing step.
