Root Canals

Relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural tooth.

A root canal is a common dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. Modern root canal treatment is safe, effective, and designed to relieve pain — not cause it.

At Beaverbrook Dental, we use modern techniques to make root canal therapy as comfortable as possible.

When a Root Canal is Needed

You may need a root canal if you experience:

Persistent tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness
Darkening of the tooth
Infection or abscess

Prompt treatment can prevent tooth loss and further infection.

The Root Canal Process

Thorough exam and digital imaging
Removal of infected tissue
Cleaning and sealing of the tooth
Restoration to protect the tooth

Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two visits.

Comfort and Pain Management

Local anesthesia ensures comfort during treatment. Sedation options may be available for patients with dental anxiety.
