Diagnosis and Examination
Our dentist will examine the affected tooth, review your dental history, and possibly take digital X-ray scans to assess the extent of the infection or damage.
Infection or trauma to the dental pulp, the living part of your tooth, can lead to excruciating pain and, if not treated promptly, even tooth loss. Endodontics in Richmond Hill, ON, can relieve the pain and save your tooth by removing the infected tissue and sealing the cavity.
Our dentists at Mackenzie Smiles Dentistry utilize advanced techniques and equipment to ensure effective endodontic treatment.
Whether you are suffering from tooth decay, dental trauma, or infection, our dentists provide high-quality endodontics near you to restore the health and function of your tooth. We eliminate the infection while ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
Our endodontic treatment aims to remove the infected or damaged dental pulp, clean and disinfect the root canals, and seal them to prevent reinfection.
Here is a step-by-step overview of the endodontics therapy process:
Please book an appointment at Mackenzie Smiles Dentistry to learn about our root canal surgery and other endodontic therapies.
It’s a dental treatment that helps save a tooth by addressing problems inside it, such as an infection or a damaged nerve (pulp).
You may need it if you have an extreme toothache, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, or if your tooth is injured or infected.
No, it doesn’t. The dentist gives you anesthesia to numb the tooth, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment.
Typically, it takes one or two visits, depending on the severity of the infection.
You may notice constant tooth pain, pain when chewing, swelling in your gums, or your tooth turning darker in color.
It’s usually better to save your natural tooth. A root canal helps you keep your tooth, while removing it may mean getting an implant or bridge later.
With great care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime.
Brush and floss daily, see your dentist for regular checkups, and avoid chewing on that tooth until it’s fully restored
