A root canal is a dental treatment that is performed to save an infected tooth from extraction when the soft inner tissue (called the pulp) becomes exposed or infected. This can happen because of injury, or because of a crack in its shell that leads to failure of the outer layer. An infected tooth can cause considerable pain from the pressure on the sensitive areas around it. If not treated quickly enough, an injected tooth may result in abscesses or even tooth loss.
Visiting our office regularly for dental check-ups is vital to ensuring healthy teeth. In situations where you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, please get in touch with our professional staff as soon as possible. For any urgent concerns, we are always ready to assist you.
NE Calgary Root canals therapy is an effective treatment for an infection that can save a tooth from extraction; it eliminates the tooth infection, which results in the elimination of the associated pain and sensitivity. Treating an infected tooth can also help you restore the health, appearance, and function of a damaged tooth.
Before any root canal treatment, your Calgary dentist will examine you to determine if root canal therapy is the best course of treatment. Once they have determined that you need to undergo the procedure, a personalized treatment plan will be created to specifically address your tooth condition. NE Calgary Root canal therapy begins with first administering a local anesthetic to the tooth and surrounding area to ensure that you remain pain-free and comfortable throughout the procedure. Your tooth will then be thoroughly cleaned to remove bacteria, and the nerve chamber will be sterilized. To seal the nerve chamber, a special filling material will be used. A customized porcelain crown will then be placed on the tooth to give it greater durability, protection, and appearance.
