Teeth decay, break, and crack. When this happens, a root canal might be the best course of action. Root canal therapy salvages the natural tooth rather than replacing it with a dental implant. The tooth will look the same as it did before the procedure, and with good care it can last for many years.

Do You Need a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats the infected pulp inside your tooth. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue that can become infected due to deep decay, cracked teeth, or repeated dental procedures.
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen gums near the affected tooth
- Darkening of the tooth
- Persistent pimple on the gums
Our Vancouver root canal dentists at Kerrisdale Dental Centre can evaluate your symptoms and determine if this treatment will solve your dental issues.
