Root Canal Treatment in Barrie
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, removes infected, injured or dead pulp from inside a tooth so you can keep your natural tooth.
What Is the Root Canal System?
Inside each tooth is a space called the root canal system. It is filled with soft pulp made up of nerves and blood vessels that help the tooth grow and develop.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Why Would I Need a Root Canal?
When bacteria enter a tooth through a deep cavity, a crack or a faulty filling, the tooth can become abscessed. An abscessed tooth has an infection in the pulp and may cause pain or swelling. We can often spot an infection on an X-ray. Infected pulp has to be removed, and if it's left untreated, an abscessed tooth can cause serious oral health problems.
