Root canals have a bad reputation they don’t deserve. We promise.
For most patients, the idea of a root canal sounds worse than the procedure actually is. At Destiny Dental in Mississauga, we use modern techniques and effective anesthesia to make root canal treatment as comfortable as any other dental appointment. And we save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When that pulp becomes infected or inflamed, usually from deep decay that wasn’t caught at a regular dental exam, a crack, or a traumatic impact, it needs to be removed. That’s what a root canal does.
We numb the area, remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canals, fill them with a biocompatible material, and seal the tooth. Most teeth that receive root canal treatment are then covered with a dental crown to protect them long-term. The tooth stays in place, you keep your smile intact, and the pain from the infection goes away.
