Root Canals in Regina
A Safe, Effective Way To Treat Infected Or Damaged Teeth
A root canal can help you avoid tooth loss — and get back to living without pain.
Tooth pain can take over everything. Eating, sleeping, even thinking clearly — it all becomes harder. If a deep infection is the cause, a root canal could be the solution. This treatment gently removes the source of pain while saving your natural tooth.
It’s a procedure with a big reputation, but most people are surprised by how straightforward and comfortable it actually is — especially when they finally feel relief.
Why A Root Canal Might Be Needed
Inside each tooth is a small, soft space called the pulp — a mix of nerves and vessels that can become infected through decay, cracks, or trauma. When that happens, it can trigger serious discomfort or swelling.
A root canal clears out the infection, seals the space, and protects the tooth so you can keep using it like normal.
Signs You Might Need A Root Canal
A tooth that aches constantly or flares up when you bite
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
Gum swelling or tenderness near a specific tooth
A darkened tooth
A small bump or pimple near the gumline
Not all infections hurt — some are spotted during routine exams. Either way, you’ll always be shown what we’re seeing and why treatment is (or isn’t) recommended.
What The Treatment Involves
Root canal therapy usually takes one or two appointments. After freezing the area to keep you comfortable, we gently remove the infected tissue, clean the canal, and seal it. In most cases, the tooth is topped with a crown for strength and stability.
We’ll explain what’s happening every step of the way, so there are no surprises — and no guessing.
Healing And Aftercare
You might feel a bit tender for a few days after treatment, especially if the area was inflamed to begin with. But most people return to work or school the next day. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions and check in to make sure everything feels right.
Why It’s Worth Doing
Saving a natural tooth is always worth considering. It keeps your bite aligned, maintains function, and avoids bigger interventions like bridges or implants.
And if you’re nervous? That’s totally normal. We’ll take the time to answer your questions and make the experience as stress-free as possible.
