Root Canal Treatment

Save your natural smile and eliminate dental pain with professional root canal therapy at Just Dentistry. When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, this essential endodontic procedure allows us to remove the damaged tissue and seal the tooth, preventing the need for extraction. Our gentle approach focuses on relieving discomfort and preserving your tooth’s structure so it can function healthily for many years to come.

Endodontic Treatment is an indispensable procedure in the treatment of teeth that are severely decayed, infected, or broken; allowing the affected tooth to be saved from extraction and maintained for many more years.

A root canal is part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth that consists of the pulp chamber, the main canal, and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root. The smaller branches are most frequently found near the root end (apex) but may be encountered anywhere along the root length.

In a root canal procedure, the dentist will access the pulp chamber in the crown of the tooth and will reveal the root canals contained in the roots of the tooth. The infected nerve is removed and the canals are shaped using special files to smooth the walls and ensure no pulp tissue or infection is left. The canals are then filled with a special material that seals off the root canals.

Is Root Canal Treatment painful?

Root canal procedure is not as painful as it sounds! You don’t have to dread getting this procedure done. With the help of numbing medicine, you shouldn’t have any severe pain. You do have to take good care of your mouth after the treatment, and you may experience some post-procedure discomfort, but nothing that an over the counter pain reliever could not ease.

When do you need Root Canal Treatment?

Once the nerve in a tooth has suffered infection or trauma, the tooth will begin to disintegrate from the inside out. Root Canal procedure preserves the tooth so that it can be retained for several more years rather than needing to be extracted. Endodontic (root canal) treatment is recommended for situations such as:

  • Dental abscess
  • Dying tooth
  • Severe fracture in tooth
  • Deep cavities
  • Severe tooth sensitivity or pain

Root canal treatment can be done in 1 or 2 appointments. After root canal treatment, your tooth may be tender for the first few days. Severe pain or swelling are not common. If this happens, call your dentist or endodontist. You can still get a cavity or gum disease after a root canal treatment. Root canal treatment does not protect your tooth from other types of damage. However with proper care and regular dental visits, the tooth could last as long as your other teeth. Most of the time, a tooth that has had a root canal treatment can be saved.

Because of the complexity and difficulty of root canal therapy (due to multiple configurations and particularities of root canals in each individual) this treatment can pose a challenge for the dentist. Sometimes, it’s necessary to refer the patient to endodontists specializing in root canal therapy in London.

Just Dentistry in London is experienced in root canal procedures. We encourage you to book a consultation with our experienced dentists and discuss your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Root canal therapy is far less intimidating than its reputation suggests. With the help of modern numbing techniques and local anesthesia, the procedure is generally no more uncomfortable than receiving a standard filling. Our primary goal is to remove the source of your pain, and most patients feel significant relief immediately following the treatment.
Common signs include severe tooth sensitivity to heat or cold, persistent throbbing pain, swelling in the gums, or a visible dental abscess. We typically recommend this treatment when a tooth’s inner pulp has become infected due to deep cavities, trauma, or a severe fracture. Early intervention is key to saving the tooth and preventing the spread of infection.
During the treatment, we access the inner chamber of the tooth to remove the infected nerve and tissue. The canals are then carefully cleaned, shaped, and smoothed using specialized tools to ensure all bacteria are gone. Finally, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material to seal them off, and the tooth is typically restored with a crown for added strength.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last just as long as your other natural teeth. While the treatment saves the tooth, it is still susceptible to cavities or gum disease, so maintaining a consistent brushing and flossing routine is essential for long-term success.
