Our dedicated team of dental professionals is here to provide you with exceptional care, aimed at restoring your oral health while ensuring your comfort.
What is root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontics, is a specialized procedure designed to save a tooth that has suffered internal damage, such as infection or nerve trauma. Inside each tooth is a space called the canal, which houses the dental pulp – a vital tissue made up of nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected, damaged or inflamed, it can cause intense pain and requires rapid intervention to avoid more serious complications.
Our Indications for Root Canal Treatment in Laval
At Clinique Dentaire Fortin Poirier in Laval, we recommend root canal therapy in the following situations:
- Acute Dental Pain: If you experience a stabbing pain that occurs spontaneously and disrupts your sleep.
- Deep decay: When decay has reached the dental pulp, causing infection or inflammation.
- Dental trauma: In the event of dental trauma caused by an accident or sudden occlusion.
- Broken tooth: If a tooth is fractured to the point where a simple filling cannot ensure restoration.
- Crown Preparation: When a tooth requires a crown and additional reinforcement with a post.
