Telltale Symptoms of a Root Canal Infection When Is It Time to Call Smile Montreal?
How do you know if you need root canal treatment? The only way to get a definitive diagnosis is to have a dentist or endodontist perform a dental examination. However, here are some warning signs that could indicate that you need root canal therapy:
Pain or discomfort when chewing or applying pressure to the teeth
Swelling or inflammation in the gums around the affected tooth
Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold when eating or drinking
A greyish or darkened appearance in the color of the tooth
A fistula – or pimple – on the gums near the potential infection
Symptoms don't always present; routine dental examinations can identify potential issues

What Is Root
Canal Treatment?
/
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside the root canals of your tooth or teeth. This endodontic treatment can alleviate your pain and prevent bacteria from spreading throughout your mouth or body. After removing the pulp, your dentist will restore your tooth with options such as a crown or filling.
A Root Canal Benefits You in 3 Key Ways How Treatment at Smile Montreal Today Helps You Down the Line
Virtually Painless
Root canal treatment with Dr. Casey is no more uncomfortable than a routine dental filling. In fact, since the source of infection is removed during root canal therapy, most patients find that their tooth feels better almost instantly following treatment.
Avoid Extractions
The only alternative to a root canal is extraction. While Smile Montreal certainly has plenty of options for replacing missing teeth, our dentist knows there is nothing better than the real thing. With prompt treatment, root canal therapy in Montreal can effectively halt the deterioration of the tooth and surrounding jawbone to save the natural tooth.
A Closer Look at the Root Canal Procedure
During root canal therapy, the blood vessels, nerves, and other infected tissues will be removed and the tooth will be cleaned and disinfected. The tooth is then reinforced.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Recommended?
Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp chamber (the center of the tooth) has been breached by bacteria. The pulp consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues that allow for sensory perception, but are not necessary for the survival of the tooth.
Root canal therapy is a simple endodontic treatment that involves a dentist or endodontist removing the inner pulp and sterilizing the empty pulp chamber. This effectively eliminates the source of the dental infection and prevents bacteria from spreading to other parts of the mouth. Meanwhile, the exterior of the tooth remains intact and is usually restored with a dental crown.
What If I Don't Think I Need Root Canal Therapy?
Like many people, you may be searching for an excuse not to visit the dentist. However, if you need root canal treatment, time is of the essence.
Even if you don't need root canal therapy, you may have a cavity or cracked tooth. They need treatment as soon as possible, or else they may lead to a root canal infection in the future. So, it's always best to err on the side of caution and visit our experienced dentist.
Dr. Patrick Casey will treat you with kindness, care, and expertise. He puts his patients first, giving them a first-class dental experience. Instead of waiting another moment, let them help you too.
