Root Canals in Port Coquitlam

Root Canals

Root canals are routine procedures for our skilled dentists, who ensure patient comfort while effectively treating infected or damaged teeth. A root canal procedure can help save your natural tooth while treating the infected area, preventing further damage.

What to Expect from a Root Canal

A root canal procedure is a treatment that cleans and clears away the infected tooth pulp from the roots. Once the canal is clean and disinfected, your dentist will fill in and seal off the area to prevent further infections and discomfort.

When Is a Root Canal Necessary?

A root canal is necessary once the tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed. This type of infection can happen because of deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack or chip in the tooth. The best way to prevent a root canal is to brush and floss your teeth regularly, along with regular dental hygiene appointments.
