Our Endodontic & Root Canal Treatments
A toothache or infection usually means the nerve or pulp inside the tooth has become inflamed or died. Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, removes that damaged tissue while keeping the natural tooth in place. Once the nerve and pulp are removed, the tooth is filled with an inert material and restored with a filling or crown.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or think you may need a root canal, contact Dr. Sekhon Family Dentistry today to book your consultation.

Signs You May Need 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 causes you to need a root canal?
A root canal treatment is needed when your tooth is badly infected. There can be a few different causes of this infection that may require you to get a root canal treatment. Some of these can include a faulty crown, a crack or chip in the tooth, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, and poor dental hygiene.

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.
