Preserve The Natural Beauty Of Your Smile With Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure performed by our experienced dentists at Dental Care Group in Toronto. It can be a popular option for patients who want to avoid extractions and tooth replacement procedures.

What does root canal therapy involve?

Root canal therapy typically requires two visits. The first visit includes taking X-rays and preparing the affected area. During the second visit, the tooth is cleaned of any decayed material, filled, and sealed. Some soreness is common for a few days. Our dentist will prescribe pain relievers and antibiotics to help reduce any discomfort you may experience as your mouth heals.

What are the benefits of root canal therapy?

The main benefit is that it can help preserve the natural tooth, which prevents further damage and the need for extraction or a dental implant. It also helps relieve the discomfort and sensitivity associated with an infected tooth.

Who is a candidate for root canal therapy?

It may be recommended to people who have experienced tooth decay, an injury or trauma to the mouth, or a large filling that has caused the existing tooth structure to weaken, potentially leading to further damage. Root canal therapy is designed to save the natural tooth and restore its function.

If you suffer from a severely decayed or infected tooth, you may be a candidate for root canal therapy. If you need this procedure, call to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced dentists at Dental Care Group in Toronto as soon as possible.
