Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Treatment in Vaughan & Woodbridge

A root canal doesn’t simply relieve tooth pain; it’s a way to save your tooth and prevent more serious problems. An infection that gets inside a tooth can spread to the bone and become a serious health threat. A root canal eliminates the infection, and keeps the tooth and jaw bone healthy. Due to modern methods and considerate practice, the root canal procedure takes a short amount of time, is safe, and is practically painless. Do not be afraid of a root canal; it’s a procedure that keeps your smile beautiful.

When is a Root Canal Needed?

Root canals are the only option when the pulp at the tooth’s root is infected with bacteria.

It is the only way to drain the infection and prevent bacteria from re-entering the area.

Root canals are a common procedure that our staff at Charisma Dental are familiar with and do regularly.

Painless

Contrary to popular belief, a root canal amounts to only a little discomfort. We use a local anesthetic to numb the area so you won’t feel anything but pressure. The instruments used to draw out the infection are small so they aren’t noticeable to you as they are being used.
