Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)

A damaged tooth can ultimately lead to infection of the pulp and the nerve chamber, which can cause extraordinary pain levels and lead to an abscess in the area surrounding the tooth. We perform root canal therapy near you to treat pulp infections in a person’s tooth. Root canal procedure is crucial to eliminating the disease and protecting the tooth from becoming infected again. Our endodontist in NE Calgary will remove the nerve and pulp inside the tooth during this procedure. Local anaesthesia is used before the process, so no pain is felt.

Some of the benefits of this procedure include:
  • Elimination of infection
  • Elimination of pain and sensitivity
  • Reduced overall health risks associated with tooth infection
  • Restoration of health, appearance, and function of the affected tooth
  • Reduced risk that the tooth will need to be extracted
  • Shortened overall health risks associated with tooth infection

Extractions and Wisdom Teeth Removal

Sometimes, a tooth badly injured or suffers from extensive damage and decay cannot be saved. In these cases, our dentists in NE Calgary can delicately extract the tooth and prevent it from causing further harm.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Your wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of your upper and lower arches. They are generally the last four teeth to surface, or “erupt,” and can appear between ages 17 and 35. Wisdom teeth commonly require removal if they do not have enough room to develop properly and become fully functional.

Reasons To Remove Your Wisdom Teeth

There are many reasons for wisdom teeth removal. Sometimes, the procedure addresses active pain, swelling, decay, or infection around the wisdom teeth. When the wisdom teeth become impacted in your jawbone or gums, it can cause:

  • Damage to nearby teeth
  • Disease
  • Infection
  • Tooth-crowding

We always strive to restore your natural tooth and prevent them from extraction. However, in some cases, a tooth may need to be removed if it has come loose, gotten infected, or become so damaged it cannot support a crown or other restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to cold or hot, swelling around the gum area, or darkening of the tooth are indications of needing a root canal right away. The sooner an issue is treated, the better the chance a dentist can save the tooth and avoid further infection.
A tooth extraction is performed pain-free using local anesthesia or sedation. After the appointment, over-the-counter medicines, ice packs, and following your dentist’s post-care instructions will help alleviate discomfort and swelling.
If your wisdom teeth suddenly cause pain and or swelling, it could be caused by impaction or infection; contact your dentist for urgent treatment to assess and determine if extraction or any other treatment is needed.
Dental infections can spread rapidly and lead to more serious health problems. If you saw an emergency dentist, they would treat the disease immediately.
If a tooth is knocked out, rinse it with water without scrubbing it, keep it moist with saliva or milk, and get to your dentist or urgent dental care clinic as soon as possible to have the best chance of saving the tooth.
Emergency dental visits can be higher than scheduled visits due to the immediacy of care (without a scheduled appointment). However, attention to issues quickly can prevent more complicated and expensive procedures later.
