Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Therapy
Save your tooth and restore normal function with root canal therapy in Toronto and Etobicoke from Clovedent Family Dentistry. This treatment involves removing diseased pulp and the tooth’s nerve within the root canal. The pulp chamber and root canal are then cleaned out, medicated and sealed. In many cases, a dental crown is needed to restore the decayed portion of your tooth. Other restorative treatments may be used to protect and strengthen your tooth.
Root canal therapy is needed to save a decayed, cracked or severely injured tooth when the pulp (the soft inner tissue in the root canal) is inflamed or infected. Excessive pain or an abscess can occur if not treated promptly. Clovedent Family Dentistry can complete root canal therapy in 1 or 2 visits depending on your unique situation. Once we’ve completed the restoration, your tooth will function like normal. If you maintain proper oral hygiene, your restored tooth can last a lifetime.
