Root Canal Therapy in Toronto

Most people have pre-conceived notions that root canal treatments are filled with pain and discomfort. In fact, root canal therapy doesn’t cause pain. It actually relieves it! Advances in dental technology have made root canal therapy virtually a pain-free experience.

The procedure begins by administering a local anaesthetic to relieve pain and discomfort. A small opening is made on the chewing surface of the tooth to gain access to the infected tissue. Fine instruments are used to remove the infected tissue and clean the inside of the tooth. A tooth can have anywhere between 1-4 roots. Each root or canal must be properly clean, prepared, filled and sealed with biocompatible filling materials. They are sealed with an adhesive cement to prevent future infection. The tooth is then restored with a crown to prevent fractures, especially if it’s a molar or a premolar tooth.
