Root canal
What is it?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal helps remove the infection, relieve pain, and save the natural tooth.
​
At our Calgary dental clinic, root canal treatment is performed with modern techniques to restore your tooth’s health, function, and comfort.
Who it’s for:
Root canal treatment is recommended for:
-
Patients with severe or persistent tooth pain
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
-
Swelling or tenderness around a tooth
-
Infected or abscessed teeth
-
Teeth damaged by deep cavities or trauma
-
Patients trying to avoid tooth extraction
-
Anyone looking for a trusted dentist in Calgary for tooth infection
Early treatment can prevent the spread of infection and protect your natural tooth.

The dentist evaluates the tooth and takes digital X-rays to confirm infection or damage.

Removing the infection

The infected pulp is carefully removed from inside the tooth.
-
