Root Canal Treatment in Downtown Toronto

Root canal procedure is not as painful as it sounds! You don’t have to dread getting this procedure done. With the help of numbing medicine, you shouldn’t have any severe pain.

If you have persistent pain, sensitivity to cold or hot temperatures, swollen gums, or tooth discoloration, these symptoms show you might need to visit the dentist for a root canal.

During the root canal treatment, the dentist will first clean the root canal. While the infected area is under local anesthesia, the dentist makes a small hole in the surface of your tooth and removes all the infected and dead pulp tissue.

Signs you need root canal treatment include persistent and severe toothaches, prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, discoloration, swollen gums, and tenderness in the gums. Other signs include tooth mobility and a chipped or cracked tooth.

A root canal is needed when the nerve inside a tooth has become infected, inflamed, damaged, or traumatized.
