Root Canal Therapy in Simcoe

Root canals can be careful, quick, and relatively pain-free

Experiencing a persistent toothache that just won’t seem to subside? You may be a candidate for root canal therapy in Simcoe. At Dentistry on Norfolk South, we understand that the thought of a root canal might evoke some anxiety, but we’re here to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Imagine your tooth as a small house. The “living room” is the visible part you see when you smile. But beneath the surface, there’s a hidden inner chamber called the “pulp.” This delicate tissue houses the tooth’s nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, providing essential nourishment.

However, when bacteria invade the pulp through a crack, decay, or injury, it can lead to infection. This infection can cause severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, and even swelling.

Root canal therapy is a specialized dental procedure designed to address this infection. By removing the infected pulp and thoroughly cleaning and sealing the root canals, we can effectively eliminate the infection and save your natural tooth.
