Root Canal Therapy in Kitchener, ON
Saving Your Natural Tooth, One Root at a Time!
Your tooth has two main parts: the crown, which you see in your mouth and the roots, which are hidden beneath the gums and anchored in the jawbone. Tooth decay often starts on the crown and if left untreated, can spread deeper into the root canal system where your tooth’s nerves and blood vessels reside.
When decay reaches this depth, the solution is root canal therapy—a procedure designed to clean out infection, relieve pain and restore the health of your tooth.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
✔ We remove decay and infection from both the crown and root canal system.
✔ The canals are carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent future issues.
✔ Your tooth is restored with a filling or crown, bringing it back to full function!
A root canal procedure does not just stop pain, it saves your natural tooth so you can keep your healthy, confident smile for years to come! If you are experiencing tooth pain, don’t wait, call MI Dental today!
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
Even though your tooth’s pulp is protected by layers of enamel and dentin, it can still become infected or damaged due to:
Deep Cavities – When decay reaches the pulp, bacteria invade and cause infection. Cracked or Broken Teeth – Even small fractures can let bacteria into the pulp chamber. Severe Gum Disease – Infection can spread from the gums to the tooth’s roots. Tooth Trauma – A hard hit to the tooth can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to pulp death.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
❗ Lingering tooth pain that would not go away
❗ Throbbing sensation in the tooth
❗ Pain that worsens when lying down
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait! A root canal treatment can relieve pain, stop infection, and save your natural tooth. Call MI Dental today for expert care!
