Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Treatment in Vancouver
Are you dealing with an excruciating toothache? Root canal therapy might be the answer you’re seeking. It is the safest way to deal with infected or damaged teeth without having to get an extraction.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that helps you get rid of severe pain caused by a damaged tooth. When the inner part of your tooth, called the pulp, becomes infected due to decay or injury, it can cause pain and discomfort. During a root canal, your dentist or root canal specialist in Vancouver will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and then seal it to prevent future infections.
Root Canal Procedure in Vancouver
Our root canal specialists offer a simple and effective treatment which involves the following key steps:
Numbing: We numb the area around your tooth to ensure a painless experience.
Removing the Infection: A small opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and clean the area.
Sealing the Tooth: After cleaning, the tooth is sealed with a special material, and a crown may be placed to restore its strength.
Follow-Up: You may experience mild discomfort but usually manageable with pain relievers. A follow-up visit ensures everything is healing well.
What Happens During the Procedure?
We carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the canal, then seal it to prevent reinfection. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for your complete comfort.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
Persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling near the gums can signal an infected tooth nerve. A root canal can stop the infection from spreading and save your tooth from extraction.

Root canals not only relieve pain but also restore your bite and preserve your natural tooth. With proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime, helping you avoid more extensive dental work.
