NW Calgary Root Canals at Point McKay Dental Care

As your trusted dental care provider in Northwest Calgary, Point McKay Dental Care is here to address an array of dental health concerns, including the often-misunderstood procedure known as root canal therapy. Serving communities from Parkdale to Varsity, our experienced team ensures every visit is comfortable, including those requiring specialized treatments.

Understanding Root Canals

A root canal is a vital dental procedure designed to relieve tooth pain and save your tooth from extraction. This treatment becomes necessary when the pulp inside your tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, tooth injury, or repeated dental procedures on the tooth.

When to Seek Root Canal Treatment

Persistent tooth pain and sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures are signs you may need a root canal. These symptoms often indicate that the pulp inside your tooth is infected or inflamed.

Visible signs of infection, such as darkening of the tooth and swollen gums around the tooth, may also suggest the need for root canal therapy.

In cases of severe pain or dental trauma, emergency root canal treatment may be necessary. Point McKay Dental Care offers emergency dental services to address these urgent needs.

Our Root Canal Treatment Process

At Point McKay Dental Care, our endodontists specialize in pulp therapy and are committed to making your root canal procedure as painless and efficient as possible. Here’s what you can expect during the treatment:

• Diagnostic X-rays: We start with dental x-rays to determine the extent of the tooth decay or infection.
• Dental Consultation: Our specialists discuss the findings, your treatment options, and the potential dental costs involved. We also review your dental insurance to ensure you understand your coverage.
• Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia before the procedure.
• Pulp Removal: The infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
• Tooth Restoration: Finally, the tooth is filled and sealed. In some cases, a tooth may require further restoration, such as a crown, to protect it and restore its function.

Throughout the procedure, our team provides compassionate care, ensuring your experience is as comfortable as possible.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following your root canal treatment, you may experience some tooth sensitivity or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to address any concerns or questions you may have.
