We know root canal procedures can be concerning, so at Oxford Family Dental, your Port Coquitlam dental practice, we aim to make root canal treatment as comfortable as possible.
Root canal treatment is performed when there has been extensive damage, decay, or infection to a tooth. During the root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Watch out for root canal symptoms that indicate you might need treatment: bad toothache pain when eating or chewing, extreme sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, darkening or greying of the tooth, and swelling or tenderness in gums surrounding the tooth.
If you experience any of these symptoms of root canal infection, consult with your Port Coquitlam dentist at Oxford Family Dental. We provide emergency root canal treatment when needed.
