Root Canal Ottawa

Restore Your Dental Health at Bronson Dental

Root canal treatment at Bronson Dental in Ottawa can preserve your natural smile and relieve discomfort. Root canal treatments are a highly effective and relatively painless procedure to treat infected teeth and prevent further infection, preserving both your smile and overall oral health.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, is designed to treat the soft tissue, or pulp, inside of an infected tooth. When the pulp becomes damaged due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or cracked teeth, it can cause extreme pain, swelling, and infection.

Book with us today to stop the issue from getting worse and causing more oral health problems.

Root Canal Procedure at Bronson Dental

1. Initial Consultation
During your first appointment, our dentists will assess your symptoms and take x-rays to examine the tooth. If root canal therapy is required, we will explain the process and answer any questions you may have.

2. Local Anesthesia
Before beginning the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to numb the infected area, ensuring you feel no pain throughout the treatment.

3. Cleaning the Root Canal System
Our root canal specialist carefully removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth and thoroughly cleans the root canal system to eliminate bacteria and infection.

4. Filling and Sealing
After cleaning, the inside of the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further infection. A temporary dental filling may be used before placing a permanent dental crown.

5. Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, our team will provide you with detailed care instructions. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene to ensure your tooth heals properly and remains healthy.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain Relief: Say goodbye to severe mouth pain and discomfort caused by an infected pulp.

Preserve Your Natural Tooth: Root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than extracting it.

Prevent Further Infection: By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, the procedure stops the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and tissues.

Improved Oral Health: Root canals help maintain your overall dental health, allowing you to continue chewing comfortably and smiling confidently.

Why You May Need a Root Canal

You may need endodontic treatment if you are experiencing symptoms such as:

Severe tooth pain while chewing or biting.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers.
Swollen gums near the affected tooth.
A cracked or chipped tooth.
Deep decay or a cavity that has spread to the tooth pulp.

These are signs that the soft tissue inside your tooth is infected, and you should look into root canal treatments to save your natural tooth as soon as possible.
