Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is probably the most widely feared dental treatment, but its execution is important for healthy, non-infected set of teeth. At Rideau Dental Centre, we will make sure that your root canal surgery is carried forward in the most pain-free way possible. Our well trained doctors consider your safety and comfort as their top priority.

Our teeth, much like the rest of our body parts, are connected to the circulatory system through arteries, veins and nerves. The part below the gum line contains a root canal, which is filled with a dental pulp. This dental pulp is responsible for the transfer of nutrients to the tooth. In severe cases of tooth decay, this dental pulp becomes infected and supply of nutrients to the tooth is hindered. This can be a painful condition. In such a case, the pulp has to be reshaped or removed entirely to prevent the tooth from dying.

Root Canal therapy becomes unavoidable in such circumstances. During the surgery, our doctors will reshape or remove the dental pulp and replace it with an inert material (gold alloy, cement etc.) to prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth.
