Root Canal Therapy
in Scarborough
Sometimes the Healthiest Step Is Letting Go
Root canal therapy is used when infection or inflammation reaches the inner portion of a tooth. This area contains nerves and blood vessels, and when affected, it can lead to persistent pain, sensitivity, or swelling. Treating the infection helps relieve discomfort while allowing the natural tooth to be preserved rather than removed.
The goal of root canal therapy is to eliminate infection, stabilize the tooth, and support long-term oral health in a predictable and controlled way.

What Happens During Treatment
Why Preserving The Natural Tooth Matters
Keeping the natural tooth helps maintain bite balance and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting. In many cases, saving the tooth avoids the need for more complex replacement options.
