Root Canals in Calgary
Root Canals
Root canal treatments are an important part of maintaining your oral and overall health, allowing us to intervene before an infection can spread. The word “root canal” can induce a sensation of fear, but modern root canal tools and technology allow us to provide a much more comfortable and quick experience.
When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
Root canal treatments are used to remove an infection in the tooth roots. These infections occur when bacteria move past the protective outer surface of the teeth (such as through a cavity) and into the soft tissue within. It’s important to treat these issues quickly, as they can be painful and prevent you from normal activities, such as eating and drinking. There is also a risk of infections spreading to other teeth or other parts of the body if they are not treated.
How Do I Know I Need a Root Canal?
Our dental team will be able to easily assess your tooth when you arrive at our offices and determine whether a root canal treatment is necessary. You should call our offices for an appointment if you or a loved one is feeling these symptoms:
