Root Canal Dentist Woodbridge & Vaughan
Your teeth have pulp tissue that provides them with the essential nutrients, sensory innervation, and sufficient blood supply. This tissue can be damaged due to abscess, infection, or severe tooth decay. The professional dentists at Pine Valley Dentistry may recommend root canal treatment to eliminate the damaged pulp, thorough cleaning of the affected tooth, and sealing it to prevent further damage. We try to make the process as comfortable as possible while preserving your natural teeth.
Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?
Most people misunderstand the necessity for root canal treatment and believe that it’s very painful. Modern dental technology and tools allow our dentists to make the procedure as comfortable and effective as possible. To determine if you need a root canal procedure, check if you have damaged pulp. Here are the common symptoms.
- Abscess, swollen face, and pus in the affected tooth
- Sharp pain when chewing food
- Hypersensitivity to hot or cold temperature, especially when taking cold or hot drinks
- Persistent toothache
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with Pine Valley Dentistry for a checkup. Keep in mind that some of these signs could signify other dental issues. But there is a way to be sure – consult with one of our highly experienced dentists.
What to Expect During this Dental Procedure?
Root canal treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia with proper isolation of the tooth being treated to prevent contamination of the entire canal system. Most patients who need root canal treatment are likely to come in pain and will experience relief after the procedure. In some cases, multiple appointments may be necessary to complete a root canal treatment successfully.
Following successful treatment, shaping, and sealing of the canal system, your tooth will be finally restored with filling. Your dentist may recommend a subsequent appointment for placement of a crown over the tooth to protect its structure and restore its function. You can count on Pine Valley Dentistry for reliable and affordable dental care services.
What are the Benefits of Root Canal Treatment?
Once the pulp tissue gets irreversibly infected, inflamed, or damaged, the affected tooth cannot heal on its own. It needs to be treated and protected from further damage. If not treated on time, the damaged pulp could cause deterioration of the bone tissue, discomfort, pain, and abscess that might form at the root of your tooth.
What most people don’t know is that this infection could spread to other areas of the body, resulting in blood poisoning, systematic illness, and fever. Also, you may experience swelling on your neck and face because of the widespread infection in your mouth.
The good news is that root canal treatment can cure this condition. The experienced dentists at Pine Valley Dentistry can extract the damaged pulp from the affected tooth, clean it, and seal it to prevent further damage. During your regular visits to our dental care facility, our dentists can identify the earliest signs of pulp infection or damage and help treat it.
