What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment that helps restore or save a tooth that has become inflamed or infected.
Inside the centre of your tooth, there is a soft tissue called pulp. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels to help feed the tooth and help fight infections. A damaged tooth or deep tooth decay can lead to infection of the pulp, resulting in the need for a root canal.
During a root canal treatment, your dentist will numb the area before using dental tools to remove the pulp from inside the tooth. Your dentist will then fill and seal the tooth.
Schedule AppointmentSigns You Might Need a Root Canal
Signs or symptoms you may experience if you’re suffering from infected pulp include:
- Tooth sensitivity
- Pain while chewing
- Chipped or cracked tooth
- Swollen or tender gums
- Tooth discolouration

Free Invisalign Consultations: Supporting Healthy, Beautiful Smiles
We want you to love your smile! Invisalign can straighten your teeth, bringing your smile into alignment in a way that promotes both the symmetry and health of your teeth.
If your bite is misaligned, it can be tricky—or even impossible—to completely clean between your teeth. And if your teeth aren’t in the right position, they can actually damage each other over the years. That means even if your teeth are alright today, they may be at risk down the road.
Curious what your smile could look like after Invisalign? Book a free, personalized Invisalign consultation with Dr. Lindsay Raoufi today.
