Dental problems on the surface of a tooth are often quick and easy to treat, like a small cavity that only requires a filling. However, decay or infection can progress deep into the tooth, reaching the pulp. Tooth pulp problems can be very painful, and they can pose a risk to your long-term dental (and overall) health.

All dental services are provided by general dentists.
What is a Root Canal?
A dentist performs a root canal or endodontic treatment on the inside of a tooth to remove the damaged, painful tissue. Root canal treatment is a way to help save and restore teeth with extensive damage or disease.
The damage might be due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
The Root Canal Procedure in Val Caron
We can often complete your endodontic treatment in a single visit, often taking between 60-90 minutes per tooth. The procedure involves cleaning the infected debris in the tooth and sealing it with a biologically inert, rubber-like material called gutta-percha.
The root canal system is sealed and often, the dentist will rebuild the tooth core to support a crown, which helps restore structure and function. It allows you to chew and bite comfortably, and can help protect your other teeth from strain.
Is a Root Canal Painful?
Modern techniques and equipment help make most root canal procedures comfortable, and many patients experience little discomfort. A root canal is intended to relieve your tooth pain and help save your tooth. Root canal treatment with proper restorations (crowns) has a high success rate. In many cases, it allows patients to keep the tooth for many years.
