Root Canals | Dentistry on Danforth

Keeping Your Oral Health on Track

A root canal gets to the centre of the issue.

If your tooth is infected it can lead to tooth and jaw pain, sensitivity, and swelling. Without treatment, an infected tooth may need to be extracted from your mouth.

If this procedure brings forward feelings of anxiety, we want to help ease your mind by answering your questions and fostering a comfortable and caring environment. We prioritize your satisfaction.

Understanding Root Canals

There is a soft tissue inside of your tooth, known as pulp, that is made up of nerves and blood vessels responsible for keeping your tooth healthy. If it becomes infected, your tooth is in danger of decaying or needing to be extracted.

A root canal is a treatment that can restore and save your natural tooth by removing the infected pulp. This process consists of:

Administering local anesthetic
Creating an opening to access the infected pulp
Using fine, specialized instruments to remove the infected pulp
The open canal is cleaned, filled, and sealed
