What Is a Root Canal?
Relieve tooth pain and save your natural tooth with root canal therapy at Eastvale Dentistry in Markham.
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged on the inside. During the procedure, we remove the inflamed or infected pulp from the tooth's inner chamber, clean and disinfect the area, and seal it with a filling or crown.
This treatment can save your natural tooth, prevent the need for extraction, and eliminate pain — often in just one or two visits.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
- Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
Early diagnosis is key. If you notice these signs, don’t delay — call us right away.
What to Expect During Your Root Canal Procedure
Many patients are surprised at how straightforward and painless the root canal process can be:
- Examination & Imaging – We use digital x-rays to assess the infection and plan treatment.
- Local Anesthesia – Your tooth and surrounding area are completely numbed for comfort.
- Pulp Removal – The damaged tissue is removed from inside the tooth.
- Cleaning & Shaping – The canals are disinfected and shaped for filling.
- Filling & Sealing – The space is sealed to prevent future infection.
- Restoration – A dental crown is typically placed to protect the tooth long-term.

Root canals have a high success rate and can often last a lifetime with proper oral care.
Dental Tip: Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
