Root Canal Therapy

Your Kanata dentist can relieve your dental pain with root canal therapy!

Although our teeth are solid on the outside, they have a hollow canal on the inside that contains the dental pulp. The pulp consists of nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp gets infected or injured, due to cavities or decay, a fracture or a dental accident, Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, will be required.

Symptoms of a Root Canal Infection

• Acute and intense toothache
• Darkening of the tooth
• Sharp pain when biting down
• Lingering pain after eating hot or cold foods
• Dull ache and pressure
• Pain, tenderness or swelling in the nearby gums
• Recurrent or persistent pimple on the nearby gums
