About Our Endodontic & Root Canal Treatments in Ottawa

Even when the nerve and pulp must be removed, root canal treatments – also known as endodontic treatment – retains the placement and function of a natural tooth. The tooth is filled with inert material and repaired with a filling or crown after the nerve and pulp have been removed.

Westboro Root Canal Treatment at Sekhon Family Dentistry
A root canal treatment is the therapy of choice for saving a tooth that would otherwise die and have to be extracted. Many patients assume that removing a problematic tooth is the best answer, but what they don’t realize is that extracting a tooth is more expensive in the long run and can cause serious difficulties for surrounding teeth. Root canal therapy is quite effective and usually lasts a lifetime.
Why You May Require Root Canal Therapy
The pulp is the living tissue inside the tooth. Infections or abscesses that develop inside the tooth or at the root tip, or injury to the tooth may require root canal therapy. An abscess on the gums, for example, can suggest the necessity for a root canal as well as heat and cold sensitivity, discomfort or severe toothache, tenderness and/or swelling, etc. Sometimes there are no symptoms at all which is why our expert dentists at Sekhon Family Dentistry will perform a thorough examination before developing a root canal treatment plan for you.
Root Canal Treatment FAQs
What will they do in root canal treatment?
A root canal treatment is a procedure in which your dentist or oral surgeon removes infected or inflamed pulp in your root canal. After this pulp beneath your enamel is removed and the area is cleaned, it is then filled and sealed. Sometimes a tooth crown can be added on top once your dentist deems the tooth ready.

What are the 3 stages of root canal treatment?
Stage 1: The tooth is evaluated and the root canal is cleared through a small opening in your tooth made by your dentist.
Stage 2: The root canal is cleaned and shaped further. Dead nerves, pulp, and infection are removed. This stage is a more thorough cleaning than the first stage.
Stage 3: The root canals are filled with an appropriate material. After the filling restores the tooth, a crown can be placed on top if needed.
