Root Canal
Gentle Root Canal Treatment in Etobicoke
A root canal treats infection in the inner layer of your tooth, known as the pulp. At Six Points Plaza Dental, we gently remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent future issues—all while keeping you comfortable throughout the process.
Thanks to modern techniques and advanced technology, our root canal treatments are safe, efficient, and virtually pain-free. You’ll maintain your natural chewing ability and restore your smile—without the discomfort.
Our team takes the time to explain every step, so you feel informed and supported from start to finish. Contact us today to find out if a root canal is the right solution for you and take the first step toward a pain-free, healthy smile.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Will a root canal hurt?
Modern anesthesia techniques ensure minimal discomfort during a root canal. You’ll likely feel no pain. We can also discuss sedation options for added relaxation. After the procedure, some mild soreness is common, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage this.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Leaving an infected tooth untreated can lead to serious complications, including spreading infection to surrounding teeth and bones, abscess formation (painful pus pockets), jawbone damage, or tooth loss. A root canal addresses the infection and preserves your natural tooth, promoting better long-term oral health.
How long does a root canal take?
The time for a root canal varies case by case. Generally, a root canal can be completed in one or two appointments. We will discuss the estimated timeframe during your consultation.
What happens after a root canal?
After a root canal, your tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days. Following good oral hygiene practices and taking pain medication as prescribed will aid in healing. In most cases, a crown will be placed on the tooth to restore full functionality and aesthetics.
How long does a tooth last after a root canal?
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, is crucial for the long-term success of your root canal treatment.
