Root canal treatment is also termed endodontic treatment. It is designed to eliminate the bacteria from the infected root canal to save your tooth and prevent reinfection. Modern technologies have enabled dentists to save your natural tooth using root canal treatment. The root canal treatment has various advantages, including:

1. After root canal treatment, you can feel efficiency while chewing food.
2. It normalizes the biting force.
3. Root canal treatment is not invasive and has a natural appearance.
4. It can protect other teeth from excessive strain or pressure.

• If you feel pain or throbbing while biting.
• If you have swelling in your gums due to any periodontal disease.
• You might need a root canal dentist if you have severe tooth decay.
• Prolonged painful response to cold and hot food.
• Spontaneous pain that lingers inside your gums.

The completion of root canal treatment generally requires more than appointments. The procedure is carried out in the following steps:

1. Firstly, the root canal dentist makes an opening through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.
2. After that, the unhealthy pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are shaped, enlarged, and cleaned. Medications may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal to help kill bacteria and prevent infection.
3. If the tooth is severely infected, the root canal dentist might leave the tooth open for a few days to drain. A temporary filling is then placed in the crown to protect the tooth. 

Sometimes, your root canal dentist might prescribe you different antibiotics to help control infection. You should take all the medications as prescribed, even if the tooth is not hurting. After root canal therapy, the root canal dentist often places a large filling or crown for further protection. Another purpose of a crown is to protect the tooth from fracture and prevents recontamination by the bacteria naturally found in the mouth.

After getting root canal treatment, you can feel a substantial change in your oral health as it can prevent tooth loss, protect your teeth from any kind of infection, and prevent jawbone degeneration. 

In the root canal before and after images, you can see a definite change in the condition of your teeth as the root canal strengthens your teeth from pressure or stress and provides a layer of protection from further decay.

The cost of a root canal in Ontario fluctuates depending on how complex the treatment is or which tooth requires the treatment. The root canal cost is relatively high for molars as they are difficult to treat. However, at Wonderland family, you can have most of your treatment charges covered under dental insurance. 

Generally, the restoration of natural teeth or the endodontic treatment is usually less expensive because it does not require tooth extraction.

You can find several root canal dentists in London. Still, the Wonderland family can prove to be the best choice as our team is always concerned with your comfort and strive to provide you with multiple high-quality and effective dental care services under the same roof at affordable costs, often covered by dental insurance. 

After getting this procedure done, the root canal dentist might prescribe you some medications to prevent any future decay or infection. The healing time of a root canal treatment is generally less than a week.

However, during this period, the patients might experience mild symptoms like discomfort, sensations, or pain, but these are temporary side effects and subside on their own. After this procedure, patients should follow the following precautionary measures to have maximum results and avoid any inflammation.

1. Avoid eating overly hard foods, especially right after getting the root canal treatment done.
2. Floss once a day to help prevent future decay or infections.
3. Reduce the number of drinks and sugary foods you consume.

During the visit to the root canal dentist, you might feel mild pain or discomfort, but it is not as severe as some people think and can be reduced with the use of anesthesia.  However, people’s tolerance varies in that case. After getting this procedure done, the pain or discomfort typically goes away within the first week.

The root canal treatment might take more than one appointment when the root canal dentist recommends permanent tooth filling or placement of a crown. During these appointments, the dentist ensures that your tooth is properly cleaned, sealed up, and protected from future decay.

If the dentist has recommended permanent tooth filling, this process will require two requirements. Each appointment will take 90 minutes to 3 hours. However, the simple root canal procedure can be completed in 30 to 60 minutes.

The root canal treatment is performed in a dental office. A technician will escort you to the treatment room when you reach the dental office London for your appointment.

Afterward, the dentist will give you a small amount of numbing agents like anesthesia to make this procedure less painful. Then the dentist will remove the infected pulp by creating a small opening.

After that dentist coats the infected area with antibiotics, then he will complete this procedure by filling the small opening.
