If you forgo dental care due to your busy schedule, you run the risk of cavities. You may wake up one morning with severe pain due to decay. Left unchecked, decay can spread to the inner layers of your tooth, infecting the nerves, connective tissues and roots. At this stage, root canal therapy is your only recourse for saving your tooth. Through root canal treatment, Drs. Amir Awadalla and Mark Awadalla can eliminate your infection to ease your pain. Esquire Dental Centres in Scarborough, Ontario, is your endodontic clinic near me for root infection treatment.
How Root Canals Work
Root canals are dental procedures designed to treat severe tooth infections to avoid extraction. Once the infection reaches the inner chamber or pulp of your tooth and damages the nerve, root canal therapy is the only way to save your tooth. Root canal treatment can be completed in five simple steps:
- Numbing your tooth, so you feel no pain or discomfort during treatment
- Drilling a hole in your tooth to access the infected pulp and removing it along with damaged tissues and nerves. This will immediately ease your pain and discomfort
- Cleansing your tooth and its canals of remaining bacteria
- Sealing your tooth with gutta-percha material to protect it from future infection
- Covering your weakened tooth with a dental crown to fortify its structure so it can continue to be used

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
The greatest benefit of having root canal treatment is saving your natural tooth from extraction. With proper care, a tooth that’s undergone root canal treatment can provide you with years of full functionality, saving you the trouble and expense of replacing a natural tooth unnecessarily. Crowning your tooth conceals any damage it has sustained to restore its natural-looking appearance.
