ROOT CANAL TREATMENT AT BROADVIEW DENTAL CLINIC – SAVING TEETH, RELIEVING PAIN

Hearing the words 'root canal' can sometimes cause patients to feel nervous. At Broadview Dental Clinic, we want you to know that root canal treatment is a safe, effective, and often pain-relieving procedure designed to save teeth that might otherwise need to be removed. With modern techniques and gentle care, root canal therapy can restore health to your tooth, protect your smile, and get you back to living comfortably.

WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infection or inflammation from the inside of a tooth. Each tooth contains a soft inner tissue called the dental pulp, which houses nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged — often due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work — it can cause pain, swelling, or sensitivity.

A root canal cleans out the infection, seals the space to prevent bacteria from returning, and restores the tooth’s strength. This treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than having it extracted, which is always the healthier option when possible.

WHY MIGHT YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL?

There are several reasons why your dentist may recommend a root canal:

Severe toothache or sensitivity – Especially when eating or drinking something hot or cold.
Swelling or gum tenderness – Often a sign of infection around the tooth.
Darkening of the tooth – Which can indicate nerve damage inside.

Decay that has reached the pulp – Cavities left untreated can eventually spread deep into the tooth.
Trauma or injury – Even without a visible crack, a hard knock can damage the pulp.

Without treatment, infection can spread, leading to abscesses, bone loss, and ultimately tooth loss. A root canal stops the infection, relieves pain, and helps preserve your smile.

THE ROOT CANAL PROCEDURE – WHAT TO EXPECT

At Broadview Dental Clinic, we take time to explain the process and ensure your comfort at every stage. Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than many people imagine.

Diagnosis and Planning
We begin with an examination and X-rays to assess the tooth and surrounding tissues. If root canal therapy is needed, we carefully explain your options.
Local Anaesthetic
The tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthetic, so you remain pain-free throughout the procedure.
Cleaning the Canal
A small opening is made in the tooth, and the infected pulp is gently removed. The root canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Sealing the Tooth
Once cleaned, the space is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material. This helps protect the tooth from further infection.
Restoration
Because teeth that have had root canal therapy can become more fragile, we often recommend placing a crown afterwards. This restores the tooth’s full strength and function while ensuring it looks natural.

RECOVERY & AFTERCARE

Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how quickly they recover from a root canal. Some mild tenderness is normal for a day or two, but this usually settles quickly and can be managed with simple pain relief. Good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, will help ensure the tooth remains healthy long after treatment.
