Endodontics (Root Canal) by Brampton Dentists

Root Canal Therapy or Endodontics is performed when the inner wall of the tooth becomes infected or damaged, requiring removal. Once the diseased pulp is removed, the remaining space is cleaned, shaped and filled. This then seals off the treatment.

Trauma or infection to the tooth can occur for several different reasons such as a crack or chip, internal or deep decay, or an issue with the crown. There can be situations where the outside of the tooth looks healthy, but damage is occurring internally.

Brampton Root Canal Therapy

When root canal therapy is required, our Brampton dentist will take several steps to save the tooth. Once our dentist removes the infected pulp, the root canal system is cleaned and completely sealed to prevent further damage from occurring.

Root canal therapy is the recommended approach to treating diseased pulp tissue. The treatment helps to protect the tooth from further damage while allowing the patient to continue to chew and speak without complication. A root canal procedure can also help to prevent a future requirement for dental implants or bridges.
