Why Puslinch patients ask about root canals
A painful tooth needs answers before a treatment choice is made.
Patients from Puslinch may come in after a tooth becomes sore to bite on, starts throbbing, or reacts strongly to temperature.
We examine the tooth and surrounding area so we can tell whether the issue is nerve-related, gum-related, bite-related, or caused by a crack or cavity.
If root canal treatment is appropriate, we explain the steps and how the tooth may need to be restored afterward.

What to expect at your root canal assessment visit.
Diagnosis and x-rays
We examine the tooth, review symptoms, and use x-rays when needed to understand the root, nerve space, and surrounding bone.
Clean the canals
If root canal treatment is appropriate, the affected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
Seal the tooth
The canal system is filled and sealed to help reduce the risk of reinfection.
Plan the final restoration
A filling or crown is often needed after root canal treatment to protect the tooth for everyday chewing.
