Root Canal Treatment In Orangeville

Dr. Kaur offers Endodontic Care (Root Canal Treatment), an important step in alleviating patient discomfort and saving your tooth!

Please do not be concerned if you need a root canal, it is a very important procedure in the process of saving your tooth, and is a comfortable procedure. Many patients can be somewhat intimidated when requiring a root canal, but it is nothing to worry about! It is much better to have your endodontic care completed sooner than later. If you wait too long, first, you will be possibly quite uncomfortable, secondly, you take the chance of losing your permanent tooth!

A Root Canal Is The Removal Of Infected Pulp Or Nerves In Your Tooth.

If you leave your tooth unattended, the abscess, (infection), inside the root of your tooth will deteriorate the bone and surrounding tooth, leading to much greater complications and larger possible investments.

Why Do You Need A Root Canal?

If you do not visit our hygienist on a regular basis, and if you do not do a great job with your home care, it is more likely that your teeth will decay. Your tooth enamel, which is the outermost section of your tooth will decay from the acids in your mouth, and eventually a cavity will form. After a period of time, the decay drives deeper into your tooth, moving from your enamel to the next section of your tooth, the dentin. If the decay or infection reaches the third section of your tooth, the pulp and blood vessels, a root canal intervention is required. As with most infections, the quicker it is treated, the less chance more complicated and expensive treatments will be required.

When You Have These Symptoms, You Probably Require A Root Canal:

Severe discomfort while you are chewing food.
Uncomfortable pressure on your tooth.
Some sensitivity to hot or cold food or beverages or even weather conditions.
Your gum is swelling or is somewhat or quite tender.
Darkening colours in your tooth.
General tooth discomfort, which does not get relief with over-the-counter drugs.

How Can You Prevent A Root Canal Infection?

Dr. Kaur will communicate this to you; your simple lifestyle and oral hygiene changes can help you to a very large degree! Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing regularly is extremely important. Brushing and flossing just before you go to bed is very important. Having a healthy diet will also improve the health and condition of your teeth. Keeping your sugar intake at a minimum and drinking lots of water helps immensely when it comes to your oral health.

Root Canal Financial Investment

The investment amount for a root canal is impacted depending on which tooth requires the root canal, or if a tooth needs to be re-treated. Your worst case and most costly scenario is of course when a tooth extraction is required due to the fact that the root canal will not save the tooth.

Your teeth have a varying number of roots. Your incisors, or front teeth have only one root, and your molars, or back teeth have 3 and sometimes 4 roots. Thus, the investment for your molar teeth increases due to the amount of canals.

If Dr. Kaur has to operate on a previously treated tooth, your investment will increase. When a root canal is required to be completed on a second occasion, the procedure becomes more complicated. The requirement for retreatment may be caused by a variety of factors, some which are hard to identify and treat.

Protect Your Root Canal With A Crown!

Most root canals are followed with the need for a dental crown. A crown is basically what it sounds like, a crown that goes over the top of your tooth to protect it. Almost like a helmet in sports!

Contrary to popular belief, a root canal has a similar feeling to getting your tooth filled, so very little discomfort is involved. The primary purpose of a root canal procedure is to relieve discomfort from infection.

Root Canal Time Investment

The length of a root canal procedure depends on whether your teeth are being re-treated. If they are, expect two appointments. If this a first-time root canal procedure, then it could be one or two appointments. Each appointment takes approximately 90 minutes.
