A root canal is a necessary procedure if an infection develops in the tooth and finds its way to the root. This can happen when bacteria gets through untreated cavities or cracks in a tooth. To avoid extraction, a root canal can be performed to restore the tooth to its full capabilities.
A root canal is a procedure that clears the infection through a specialized tool. A filling or crown seals the tooth to prevent future issues.
What Happens at an Appointment
A local anesthetic is administered for a painless procedure. A second appointment is needed to seal the tooth. If you are having any pain or sensitivity, call 905-889-0000 today.
