Root Canal Therapy
SE Calgary

If you think you might require a root canal, Millennium Dental is here for you! This procedure can save your natural teeth from extraction and prevent the need for further intervention down the road. Millennium Dental is pleased to offer root canal therapy so that you can achieve optimal oral health.

A root canal is a dental treatment that is performed to save an infected or damaged tooth from extraction when the soft inner tissue (called the pulp) becomes exposed or infected. This can happen because of decay, injury, or because of a crack in the tooth. An infected tooth can cause considerable pain from the pressure on the sensitive areas around it. When damaged teeth are left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss, and potentially serious health concerns.

• Severe toothache
• Extreme sensitivity to heat and cold that lingers after the source is removed
• Problems chewing
• Abscess along the gums
• A discoloured appearance to the tooth
• Inflammation and tenderness of the gums
• Pressure to a tooth that causes pain
• Spontaneous throbbing tooth pain
• In some cases, a tooth infection can exhibit no symptoms at all

Root canal therapy is an effective treatment for infection that can save a tooth from extraction. It eliminates the tooth infection, which results in the elimination of the associated pain and sensitivity. Treating an infected tooth can also help you restore the health, appearance, and function of a damaged tooth.
