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.
How the procedure works:
- Examination & diagnosis
- 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.
- Cleaning & sealing
- The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent future infection.
- Restoration
- The tooth is restored with a filling or crown to regain strength and function.
