If you believe that you might require root canal therapy, Shawnessy Smiles Dental is here for you! Shawnessy Smiles Dental performs Root Canal Therapy in South Calgary to save your natural teeth from extraction and prevent the need for any intervention in the future. At Shawnessy Smiles Dental we are pleased to offer Calgary root canal therapy so you can achieve the optimal oral health and overall wellness you deserve.
Root canal treatment is performed to save a natural tooth from extraction when the tooth nerve is affected or exposed by injury, infection, or decay. Unfortunately, your teeth are not able to heal themselves or recover after disease or trauma to the nerve, which makes root canal therapy a critical dental treatment to save your teeth. It removes the living tissue inside of the tooth, called the pulp, bacteria, nerves, and any decay or infection, and the resulting space is then filled with special medicated dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function. Any tooth that is compromised and left untreated can lead to a dental abscess, extreme pain, or possible tooth loss, so it is very important to seek intervention early on.
Common signs that the tooth is unhealthy are not always identified right away, but as the infection progresses, you may notice one (or more) of the following signs:
There are many myths associated with root canal therapy, and our job at Shawnessy Smiles Dental is to help you make the most informed decision regarding your treatment options and how they affect your overall health. The most common myth is that it is a very painful procedure. In reality, it is carried out to relieve pain and discomfort for teeth that are diseased and/or infected. The Shawnessy Smiles Dental team pays very close attention to your comfort level during and after your Root Canal treatment in SW Calgary, and we make adjustments along the way to ensure your comfort is maintained from start to finish.
Saving your natural teeth is always our first option and our top priority. There are situations when root canal therapy is not an ideal treatment option, and the need for an extraction is unavoidable. When a tooth cannot be saved with root canal therapy in South Calgary, we plan your treatment to replace the missing tooth with dental implants, dental bridges, or partial dentures to restore the function of your teeth and prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting and moving.
Preventing the need for root canal therapy can be achieved by maintaining proper oral hygiene practices, choosing a healthy diet, and by wearing a custom sports mouthguard to prevent injury to the teeth during contact sports. Regular dental visits to diagnose and treat underlying issues early, before they progress, can also greatly reduce your risk of infection and ultimately the need for root canal therapy in South Calgary.
