There aren’t always visible indicators when a patient needs a root canal procedure. We always advise making an appointment with our staff as soon as you experience the following:
- Moderate to severe tooth pain
- sudden hot or cold sensitivity
- Change in the colour of your teeth or your gums
- Swollen or sore gums
- Loose tooth
Why Root Canal Treatment
Why Root Canal Treatment
When the pulp, which is the soft inner tissue found inside the root canal of a tooth, becomes inflamed or infected, an endodontic procedure can salvage a severely damaged, broken, or decaying tooth. If it is not treated right away, discomfort or an infection (tooth abscess) develops. The term “root canal” is also used to describe endodontic therapy.
Depending on the level of infection and the necessary treatment plan, root canal therapy can be finished in one or two office visits. The tooth continues to function normally after repair. The rebuilt tooth could last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene.
Dental Extraction Alternative
Dental Extraction Alternative
When a tooth becomes infected, root canal treatment is required. These infections arise when dangerous germs are able to enter the tooth, typically as a result of untreated tooth decay or injury. Avoiding the need for a root canal is best achieved by attending to restorative procedures as soon as possible. However, root canal procedures are the only method to save the tooth if an infection has set in. A dental extraction might be required in place of a root canal if it is not carried out quickly enough.
Root Canal Therapy at Warmstone
Root Canal at Warmstone
In order to access the tissue and blood vessels inside a tooth, a small hole must be made in the top of the tooth during a root canal operation. The tooth is cleansed and sealed once the infectious dental pulp has been removed, and then a dental crown is affixed. At Warmstone, we offer safe and efficient root canal treatments that will have you grinning broadly once more in no time. Call our office or send us a message to schedule your appointment today!
Root Canal FAQs
A patient requires a root canal when their dental pulp is infected or damaged to the point where it cannot repair itself. Dental pulp damage and infections are caused by deep cavities or damage to a tooth that allows bacteria to enter the pulp. Damage and infections to the dental pulp can cause the tissue to weaken and possibly die. A root canal helps to reverse the damage and prevent any further problems.

The first week after a root canal procedure is when most recovery pain and discomfort can be expected. There will be soreness in your jaw from having your mouth open for the duration of the procedure, as well as some tenderness around the area of the procedure. Often post root canal recovery pain is at its highest around 24 hours after the procedure is completed. Most pain can be managed with over-the-counter medications. When sleeping for the first few nights, it is best to keep your head elevated to alleviate pain and discomfort.
If you are experiencing large amounts of pain, exhibiting symptoms that your dentist did not warn you about, or you are otherwise concerned, contact Warmstone Family Dentistry so that our team can find the best course of recovery for you.
Contrary to popular belief, no, a root canal procedure is not painful. Our team at Warmstone does our best to provide you with a comfortable environment for a painless root canal procedure. If the dental pulp is already dead before the procedure, there are no active nerves, so you won’t feel anything. If the dental pulp is not yet dead, a local anaesthetic will be used to numb the area and manage your pain.

The length of a root canal procedure depends on the level of care that you will need and the timeline that your dentist thinks is best for your procedure. In most cases, a root canal procedure will take between 30 and 90 minutes to complete. Some dentists prefer to complete a root canal over several appointments whereas others prefer to complete it in one visit.
