Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment Near Me

A severe toothache can make it difficult to eat, sleep, or concentrate, and often, the cause is an infection deep inside the tooth. Root canal therapy offers a safe, effective way to relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore your oral health. At FR Dentistry on Don Mills, our gentle and experienced team provides comfortable, precise root canal treatment using advanced technology to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a restorative dental procedure used to treat an infected or inflamed tooth pulp, the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels.

During treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled and sealed. A dental crown is often placed afterward to strengthen and protect the tooth.

This procedure not only relieves pain but also prevents the infection from spreading and preserves your natural tooth for many years to come.

Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?

  • You may need a root canal if you experience:
  • Severe toothache or throbbing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  •  Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • Darkening of the tooth
  • Pain when chewing
  • A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums

Even if you don’t feel pain, an infected tooth may still require treatment. A dental exam and digital X-rays can help confirm whether a root canal is necessary.

The Root Canal Process

At FR Dentistry on Don Mills, we focus on comfort, precision, and a calm patient experience. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & Examination

Your visit begins with a detailed exam and X-rays to assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a root canal is the best treatment option.

Local Anesthesia

Before starting, we numb the area thoroughly to ensure you feel relaxed and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Removing the Infection

The dentist creates a small opening in the tooth and removes the infected pulp using gentle, advanced tools.

Cleaning & Shaping

The inner canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to eliminate bacteria and prepare the tooth for filling.

Filling the Tooth

A biocompatible material is used to fill the canals and seal the tooth to prevent future infection.

Crown Placement

Most root canal–treated teeth benefit from a custom dental crown for strength, protection, and natural appearance. This final restoration completes your treatment.
