Root Canal Treatments

At Ottawa Dental Care, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be intimidating, but modern dentistry has made this procedure a straightforward and effective way to save damaged teeth. A root canal is designed to relieve pain, remove infection, and restore the health of your tooth, helping you keep your natural smile intact.

What Is a Root Canal?

What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy treats an infected tooth pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). It’s often needed after deep decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures. If untreated, the infection can lead to pain, swelling, or tooth loss.

When Is It Needed?
You may need a root canal if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or spontaneous tooth aches

  • Swelling near the tooth

  • Tooth discoloration

  • A recurring pimple on the gums

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Diagnosis: We assess the tooth using advanced imaging.

  2. Pulp Removal: Infected tissue is removed, and the space is cleaned.

  3. Sealing: The area is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.

  4. Restoration: A filling or crown is placed to protect and strengthen the tooth.

Benefits

  • Pain Relief: Stops infection and eliminates tooth ache.

  • Tooth Preservation: Saves your natural tooth and smile.

  • Minimally Invasive: Modern techniques make it fast and comfortable.

When Is a Root Canal Necessary?

You may need a root canal if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth
  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • A recurring pimple on the gums

What Happens During a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy is a safe and comfortable procedure performed under local anesthesia to ensure you remain pain-free. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Diagnosis and Preparation: After a thorough examination, we use advanced imaging to assess the tooth and plan the procedure.
  2. Removing Infected Pulp: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
  3. Sealing the Tooth: The space is then filled with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and prevent future infection.
  4. Restoration: Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to strengthen and protect it.

Do Root Canals Hurt?
