Root Canals in Winnipeg
If the nerve inside a tooth becomes affected by infection or decay, our Winnipeg dentists will perform a root canal to repair it.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure where your dentist removes any decay, bacteria and nerves from your damaged tooth. Then, they will help restore tooth function by filling in the space with medicated dental materials.
Preserving Natural Teeth
Without a root canal, damaged teeth will die and need to be pulled by a dentist. This procedure can help to save these teeth.
Removing a problem tooth is usually not the best solution. It will likely cause issues for surrounding teeth and can end up being more expensive.
Signs & Symptoms
You may need a root canal if you experience any of the following issues:
- An abscess (or pimple) on the gums
- Sensitivity to hot and cold
- Severe toothache pain
- Swelling and/or tenderness
Visit your dentist to find out if you need a root canal. They will be able to diagnose the issue, and recommend suitable treatment.
