The answer is no! A tooth infection actually causes the pain that you feel when you need root canal
treatment.
Root canal treatment eliminates the infection, preserves your natural tooth structure, and alleviates pain.
What to Expect during Root Canal Treatment in Scarborough
Root canals don't have to be stressful when you know exactly what to expect.
- X-rays and initial diagnosis
- Numbing with a local anesthetic
- Removing the infected tissue from your tooth
- Sealing the tooth with a temporary filling
- Healing time
- Rebuild the tooth with a dental crown
Our dentists in Scarborough use anesthetic to immediately relieve pain. We also offer dental sedation options for patients who feel anxious or fearful about their treatment.
Modern dentistry also makes root canals more comfortable with flexible, electric rotary endodontic tools that can more easily access the inner canals of teeth.
Don't Delay Root Canal Treatment
If you or a loved one is feeling pain or discomfort from a tooth infection, it's essential to address it right away to bring you relief and save your tooth from further damage. A tooth infection that goes untreated could result in tooth loss without prompt treatment.
