Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Smile

At Apple Dental in Surrey, we know that root canal treatment can provide patients with an effective way to retain a tooth that’s been significantly damaged or infected by injury or decay.

What are the benefits of root canal treatment?

There are numerous benefits, including the fact that it eradicates infection, removes decay, and saves a damaged tooth from extraction. It also relieves pain, maintains the structure of the original tooth, and helps patients preserve their natural smile.

Who can benefit from this procedure?

Patients who are experiencing significant tooth pain, severe sensitivity to hot and cold food or beverages, an abscess or swelling, gum tenderness, or a discoloured tooth may require root canal treatment. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with Apple Dental today and we’d be happy to examine your smile.

How should a tooth that’s undergone root canal treatment be cared for?

After this treatment is complete, it’s important to maintain proper oral hygiene habits that include brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and seeing us at least twice a year for regular checkups. We also recommend that patients consider adding a dental crown to the tooth in question to protect and strengthen it.
