Save Your Natural Tooth & Relieve Pain Safely
Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment used to eliminate infection inside a tooth and prevent the need for extraction. At Peter Pond Dental Clinic, we use modern techniques to make the process comfortable, efficient, and virtually painless.
What Is a Root Canal?
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or deep cracks, a root canal is needed to save the tooth.
A root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans the inner chamber, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
-
Persistent toothache
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
-
Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
-
Pain when chewing or biting
-
A pimple-like bump on the gums
How Root Canal Treatment Works
1. Diagnosis & Digital Imaging
We assess the tooth and use imaging to confirm infection or inflammation.
2. Local Anesthetic
Your comfort is our priority — the area is fully numbed before treatment begins.
3. Removing the Infected Pulp
The inner chamber is carefully cleaned and disinfected.
4. Sealing the Tooth
The cleaned canal is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
5. Final Restoration
Most root-canal-treated teeth require a crown to restore strength and function.
