What is Root Canal?
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is infected or badly damaged.
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
If this pulp becomes infected from deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause sharp pain, sensitivity, and serious dental problems.
During a root canal, our dentists carefully remove the infected pulp, then clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth.
This treatment relieves pain, protects your natural tooth, and prevents the need for extraction.
Root canal therapy is a safe, effective, and common solution to keep your smile healthy and your mouth comfortable.
Save Your Natural Tooth
The main goal of a root canal treatment is to save your natural tooth whenever possible.
By saving your tooth, you can protect your dental health and avoid more invasive and costly procedures like implants or bridges.
Early treatment makes a big difference.
It stops the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues and safeguards your overall oral health.
Signs You May Need A Root Canal
Watch for these warning signs:
- Severe or persistent pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swollen, tender gums near the tooth
- Darkened or discolored teeth
- Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to book a consultation.
Early treatment can save your tooth and prevent more complicated problems.
Our Root Canal Treatment Process
Every patient’s smile is unique, but here’s how the journey usually unfolds:
Step 1: Comprehensive Examination
We start with digital X-rays to check your tooth structure.
This helps us find any infection in the area. Our dentist tests the health of the nerve tissue. Then, we talk about the options with you.
Step 2: Local Anesthetic and Access
We numb the area for a nearly pain-free procedure.
A small protective sheet (rubber dam) keeps the area clean while we access the infected pulp.
Step 3: Cleaning and Shaping
The dentist removes infected tissue from the pulp chamber and canals, then cleans and shapes the system using specialized instruments.
Step 4: Filling and Restoration
After thorough cleaning, we fill the canals with gutta-percha, a rubber-like material, and adhesive cement.
A temporary filling seals the access hole until your permanent restoration appointment, typically requiring one or two visits.

How Much Does Root Canal Cost?
The cost of root canal treatment can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The complexity of the procedure
- Which tooth is being treated
- Whether additional restorative work, such as crowns, is needed

Is There an Alternative Treatment to Root Canals?
The main alternative is tooth extraction, which removes the infection but leaves a missing tooth.
Missing teeth can cause shifting, bite issues, and jawbone loss. Root canal therapy preserves your natural tooth, making it a safer, long-term solution.
Experienced Kanata dentists provide options focused on maintaining your oral health.
