Root Canals in Vancouver
Stop The Pain. Save The Tooth.
Hearing the words “root canal” can make anyone nervous — but the truth is, root canal treatment is a safe, common procedure that helps stop pain and save teeth. At Collingwood Community Dentist, we approach it with the same calm, thoughtful care we bring to every treatment. No rushing. No confusion. Just step-by-step support to help you feel better.
If you’re dealing with deep tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, a root canal may be the solution. We’ll take the time to explain what’s going on and whether this treatment makes sense for you.
Why Root Canals Are Needed
Inside each tooth is a soft center called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When that pulp becomes infected — often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma — the infection can spread and cause serious discomfort.
A root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth so you can keep it for years to come.
Signs You May Need A Root Canal
Sharp or throbbing tooth pain
Lingering sensitivity to heat or cold
Swelling in the gums or face
A dark or discolored tooth
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
What To Expect
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and feels similar to getting a filling. Using precise tools and imaging, we clean out the infection, disinfect the space, and seal the root canals. In many cases, we will recommend a crown afterward to protect the tooth and restore strength.
Gentle, No-judgment Care
Root canals get a bad reputation — but they’re often the reason patients walk out feeling so much better. We will talk you through every part of the process, keep you comfortable, and answer any questions you have along the way.
