Repair Your Smile with Root Canal Pain Relief in Oakville

A toothache may signal an infection deep within your tooth, making it more than just a mild inconvenience. At Tanglewood Dental Office, our Oakville endodontics team offers root canal therapy focused on root canal pain relief, tooth preservation, and restoring your oral health. Our caring and experienced team is committed to making your treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 

What Is Root Canal Therapy And What Makes It Important?

Infected or damaged pulp can be removed with root canal therapy, saving the tooth while maintaining its structural integrity. This treatment is designed to help the preserved tooth last the rest of your life without requiring additional endodontic care. A deep cavity, problems from a previous filling, or a cracked tooth due to trauma or genetics may require root canal therapy.

Root canal therapy is designed to be a quick, efficient procedure similar to getting a filling. Depending on the condition of your tooth, it can usually be completed in one or two appointments.

What Patients Can Benefit From This Restoration?

• Patients With Lingering Tooth Sensitivity: Hot and cold sensitivity that continues after consuming hot or cold liquids or foods.
• Individuals With Swollen Gums: Gums that are swollen or tender— possibly with a tiny pimple-like bump—and located close to the tooth that is affected.
• People With A Darkened or Discoloured Tooth: A sign that the tooth’s inner tissue may be damaged and require root canal therapy.

Aftercare Tips For Root Canal Therapy

It's crucial to take extra care of the damaged tooth for a few weeks following root canal therapy or until our dentist recommends otherwise. As before, you can brush and floss, but be careful around the treated area. Until our dentist gives the all-clear, refrain from chewing on hard foods or using the treated tooth for forceful biting. For the first hour after your procedure, you shouldn't chew or consume hot or cold liquids. Smoking is also discouraged because it can impede the procedure and healing process.
