When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, root canal therapy is often the only way to save it. Despite the myths, modern root canals are routine, comfortable, and highly successful.
At Bridge Family Dental, we perform all root canals—including molars—in-house using advanced tools and techniques. This treatment allows us to remove the infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT
Your comfort is our top priority. We begin by numbing the area completely before carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent future issues.
In most cases, we’ll recommend placing a crown afterward to protect and strengthen the tooth. We also use CBCT imaging when needed to support more detailed diagnosis and treatment planning—especially for complex root anatomy or retreatments.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A ROOT CANAL
-
Persistent or severe tooth pain
-
Swelling or tenderness near the tooth
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
-
A pimple-like bump on the gums
