ROOT
CANAL
THERAPY
While enamel often gets the spotlight in dental care, the health of your tooth’s root system is equally important. A damaged root can lead to tooth loss, but at Dia Dentistry, we offer root canal therapy as an effective way to preserve your tooth and avoid extraction.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy aims to save a tooth by treating its root system. This procedure is necessary when the nerve inside the tooth is compromised due to decay or injury. The nerves in your teeth are essential for proper oral function, including chewing and biting.
The Root Canal Procedure
Numbing: We begin by administering a local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Accessing the Canals: Our dentist in Brampton uses specialized tools to remove the infected material from inside the tooth’s root canals.
Cleaning and Shaping: We carefully clean out bacteria and dead tissue using files, drills, and other instruments, then shape the canals to prepare for filling.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a sealant material, such as gutta-percha or an antibiotic paste, to prevent future infection and restore the tooth’s function.
When Is Root Canal Therapy Necessary?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
-
Persistent pain or swelling around a tooth
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Pus or abscesses near the tooth
-
Difficulty restoring a tooth through other methods
Despite its reputation, root canal therapy is a safe and effective procedure that can save your natural tooth. It’s a less invasive alternative to extraction and helps prevent further complications and infections.
