Root Canal Therapy at Dental Station

Tooth pain isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a sign that something deeper may be wrong. When infection or decay reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal therapy is often the last and best chance to save it. At Dental Station in North Calgary, we offer fast, effective, and compassionate root canal treatments to relieve pain and restore your oral health.

Root canal therapy is a safe and effective way to save teeth and avoid extraction. Dental Station uses the latest techniques to ensure your comfort and successful results. If you’re in pain or suspect a serious dental issue, don’t delay — contact us today to learn if a root canal is the right solution for you.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the tissue inside your tooth. When decay or trauma breaches the tooth’s protective enamel, bacteria can infiltrate and spread through the inner chamber (the canal) of your tooth. Left untreated, this can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and ultimately tooth loss.

Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue, cleans and shapes the canal system, and seals the area to prevent future infections. This treatment can often be completed in one or two visits and typically ends with a dental crown to protect the now-stable tooth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to book an appointment for an consultation with Dental Station:

• Persistent, spontaneous tooth pain
• Sharp pain when chewing or applying pressure
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Gum tenderness or swelling
• Discolouration of a tooth
• A loose, chipped, or cracked tooth

Even if the discomfort comes and goes, these symptoms should not be ignored. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances of preserving your natural teeth.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Your comfort is our priority. We offer a range of pain management options and ensure the area is fully anesthetized before beginning treatment. Once numb, we remove the infected tissue and thoroughly clean the canal system. In some cases, medication may be placed in the canal for a short period to ensure complete decontamination before sealing.

After the cleaning phase, the canal is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection. Depending on the tooth’s condition, we may place a temporary filling or move straight to a permanent crown to restore function and aesthetics.
