Reliable Dentists for Root Canals & Endodontics in Mississauga
If you are experiencing lingering pain in your mouth or jaw or increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet eatables and a more prominent sign is inflammation or swelling near the affected teeth or gum tissues, then you should see your dentist. Any delay in attending to the cause of the pain can lead to serious health issues. An endodontist can diagnose complex causes of tooth pain, such as infection inside the tooth or root canal.
Root canals or endodontic treatments require the skills of experts you can trust. The experienced dentists at Rockwood Dental Group successfully perform endodontics in Mississauga. When you experience painful symptoms that require a root canal treatment, let us help you get back to feeling normal. We carefully assess you and your dental history to design our treatment plan.

Endodontic Treatment Procedure
Endodontic treatment can be performed in one or two visits and involves the following steps:
-
You lie on your back in a comfortable chair.
-
The endodontist examines the tooth by tapping to get some clue how far inflammation has spread and checks dental X-rays to see inside details of tooth structures.
-
Local anesthesia is injected to numb the inside of the mouth for your comfort.
-
A dental dam (tiny tarp) is placed over your tooth to isolate the affected area and protect you from infection.
To repair tissues inside a tooth, the endodontist uses an operating microscope and sophisticated tools to
-
Access the pulp tissue from the top or behind the affected tooth.
-
Remove damaged or diseased pulp tissue.
-
Clean and disinfect the area inside a tooth.
-
Fill the canal and seal the tooth.
You will be getting your next appointment with your dentist to place a crown on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
Precautions and Specific Care after Endodontic Treatment
-
Don't ever chew or bite with the treated tooth unless advised by the dentist.
-
Practice good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and cleanings.
-
Go for scheduled dental visits.
-
If the tooth does not heal or the pain continues, the endodontic retreatment procedure can save the tooth.
Occasionally, the tooth may become painful or diseased months or even years after successful treatment. Often when this occurs, redoing the endodontic procedure can save the tooth.
