Root Canal Treatment in Mississauga, ON

Treatment for an Infected or Severely Damaged Tooth

Persistent tooth pain can sometimes indicate inflammation or infection inside a tooth. Cracovia Dental in Mississauga provides root canal assessment and treatment when clinically appropriate to address infection and help preserve natural teeth.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the dental pulp. If bacteria reach this tissue through deep decay, cracks, trauma or other damage, the pulp may become inflamed or infected.

During root canal treatment, the affected tissue is removed, the internal spaces are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed.

The tooth may subsequently require a permanent restoration to protect its remaining structure.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Possible symptoms include:

Persistent toothache
Pain when biting
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling around a tooth
Gum tenderness
Tooth discolouration
A recurring bump on the gum

These symptoms can have several causes, so a dental assessment is necessary for diagnosis.

Why Treat an Infected Tooth?

Without appropriate treatment, infection can spread beyond the tooth and affect surrounding tissues. Root canal treatment may allow an affected natural tooth to remain functional rather than requiring extraction.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your dentist will first assess the tooth and may take dental X-rays. If root canal therapy is appropriate, local anesthetic is used, the infected or inflamed pulp is removed and the internal canal system is cleaned and sealed.

Additional restorative treatment may be recommended afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

Local anesthetic is typically used during treatment to help manage discomfort.

How do I know whether I need a root canal?

Symptoms alone cannot confirm the diagnosis. Your dentist must examine the tooth and may use X-rays and other diagnostic tests.

Can root canal treatment save my tooth?

In appropriate cases, root canal therapy can allow an infected or damaged natural tooth to be retained.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Some root canal-treated teeth benefit from crowns or other restorations depending on their location and remaining tooth structure.

What happens if an infected tooth is not treated?

The infection may progress and potentially spread to surrounding tissues.

I would definitely recommend this clinic. 👍👍👍The staff—including the front desk, dentist, and assistant—were all kind, respectful, professional and very helpful. I came in with broken crown and I was quite shaken. They made sure I was comfortable and provided quick service to secure the site. Since I don’t have dental benefits, they provided me with  information, and explained how I might qualify for coverage through the government program. They also offered assistance in application process and offered discount in consideration of my situation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience at the dentist today! I went with my two kids, and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The team was incredibly patient, kind, and professional, especially with my children—they took the time to explain everything in a friendly way and made sure they felt at ease.

The clinic was very clean and well-organized, and the service was efficient without feeling rushed. Both of my kids left smiling, which says a lot! It’s not always easy to find a place that is great with children, but this office truly exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommend to any families looking for a caring and trustworthy dental team! 🤗
