Root Canal in Toronto, ON

A root canal is a treatment that saves a tooth whose inner pulp is infected or damaged. The dentist removes the pulp, cleans and seals the root canals, and restores the tooth so it can keep working like a natural tooth. It is usually recommended for lasting tooth pain, pain when biting, gum swelling or lingering sensitivity to hot or cold.

Saving the Tooth You Already Have

• A root canal in Toronto at Enamelle Dental removes infected or damaged tooth pulp, then cleans and seals the root canals.
• Local numbing is used for your comfort, the procedure is explained step by step before treatment, and comfort is monitored throughout the visit.
• Mild soreness or sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually eases over a few days, and normal activities are resumed shortly after.
• The long-term value of keeping your tooth is compared with extraction, so you can make an informed choice.
• Cost varies with the tooth type and complexity, and it is discussed before treatment begins.

A root canal with us on Dupont Street starts with an examination that confirms and explains your symptoms. You hear clearly why treatment is recommended and whether any alternative options make sense for your tooth.

What Is a Root Canal?

Inside each tooth is the pulp, soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels. The [Canadian Dental Association] explains that bacteria can reach the pulp through deep cavities, cracks or failing fillings, causing infection or an abscess. Root canal treatment removes the infected or injured pulp, and the canals are then cleaned and sealed.

How Do You Know If You Need a Root Canal?

These symptoms often point to a problem inside the tooth:

• persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
• pain when chewing or biting
• swelling in the gums or jaw
• sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

Symptoms are explained and confirmed through examination before any treatment is planned. If pain or swelling comes on suddenly, see our [emergency dentist] page.

Root Canal vs Extraction

When a tooth is infected, the two main paths are saving it or removing it. The long-term value of each is explained before you decide.

If a tooth cannot be saved, our [tooth extraction] page explains that path.

Recovery After a Root Canal

Mild soreness or sensitivity after treatment is common, and symptoms typically improve within a few days. You receive pain management instructions, normal activities are resumed shortly after, and follow-up care is discussed if needed. The CDA adds that severe pain or swelling is not typical, so contact us if it happens.
