Abbotsford Root Canal Therapy

If you suspect you might need a root canal, East Abbotsford Dental is ready to assist you! Root canal therapy can save your natural teeth from extraction and prevent the need for additional interventions in the future. East Abbotsford Dental is pleased to provide root canal therapy and help ensure you achieve optimal oral health and wellness.

Root canal therapy serves as an effective dental treatment to eliminate decay and/or infection from within a compromised tooth. The primary reasons for a tooth requiring root canal treatment often stem from untreated cracks, fractures, deep cavities, or injuries. To salvage the tooth from extraction, the root canal procedure involves removing the pulp, bacteria, nerves, and any decay from the tooth. The resulting cleaned space is then filled with a specialized dental material, restoring the tooth to full function. Neglecting treatment for an injured tooth can lead to a dental abscess, severe pain from infection, or potential tooth loss, emphasizing the importance of seeking early intervention.

Root canal therapy offers the optimal solution to save a tooth that would otherwise require removal. Contrary to popular belief, extracting a problematic tooth is not the only solution. Root canal therapy can preserve your natural teeth without the need for extraction, and can be a more cost-effective option. Root canal therapy is a highly successful treatment that can last a lifetime, although the possibility of re-treatment may arise due to new infections.
