rEPAIR YOUR NATURAL TOOTH WITH ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Root canal treatment is a way of saving a tooth that otherwise needs removal due to an abscess, small fracture, or deep tooth decay. A root canal involves the removal of the nerve from the tooth and replacing it with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. After root canal treatment is completed, a crown should be placed to give the tooth strength and prevent it from future breakage. Not all teeth can be saved by root canals. In many cases, it is better to remove a failing tooth and replace it with an implant.
Root Canal Signs and Symptoms
Tooth pain is one of the most common and obvious signs you have a tooth infection. However, some people may not experience pain in the early stages of an infection. Here are some other signs that it’s time to see your dentist for a root canal therapy in Etobicoke:
- Tooth discoloration
