What is a Root Canal?

Root canals are a specialized dental procedure performed to treat and save teeth that are damaged, infected, or necrotic (dead). At Kingsview Dental Clinic in Toronto, this procedure is carried out using the latest instrumentation to ensure a painless experience. A root canal involves removing the pulp and nerves from the canals within a tooth's roots. This treatment is preferable to tooth extraction, as it helps maintain the natural tooth, prevents other teeth from shifting out of place, and eliminates the need for artificial tooth replacements like implants, bridges, or dentures. If you suspect you need a root canal, the first step is to consult your dentist for an examination to explore your options. Depending on the complexity of the case, your dentist might perform the procedure or refer you to a specialist.
