Having a good oral hygiene is one of the keys to achieve confidence. In most cases, those who failed to take care of their teeth in their younger days are now suffering from imperfections which are also coupled with pain and foul smell. If you are suffering from such, a dental clinic Toronto based, would be able to evaluate the treatments your teeth might need.
You may be recommended to have filling, tooth-jacket, or complete extraction. But one of the best treatments you could ever have for your suffering tooth is a root canal. But before you engage forsuch treatment, you have to know even a little bit about it. Below are some of those:

1. It may take several sessions

Root canal Toronto dentists would evaluate the affected tooth first and see what steps they should be taking prior to the treatment. If the affected tooth is ready on the first visit, and you are ready to take the treatment the operation can be started. It would only take minimum of 30 minutes to get the job done.
If the affected tooth or the gum around it is not ready, there is an inflammation;the dentist will treat it first. This is to ensure that no other source of bacteria or discomfort will threaten the success of the root canal. Thus, you will have to go back again and again until your tooth is ready.

2. It is not painful

The procedure of the treatment is the same from one dental clinic Toronto area to another. It involves making an opening from the crown of the tooth, towards the soft tissue inside it which is called the pulp, removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canal or the space occupied by the pulp, drying it, and filling it.
Even though the treatment is quite extensive, it is not painful like most patients think it would be. Root canal Toronto dentists and any other dentist dealing with the treatment would make the treatment area numb. You won't feel a thing, and even hours after. That is surely a relief to those who are afraid to have their teeth fixed.

3. It is expensive compared to other treatments

Because the root canal Toronto treatment is extensive, and may require the patient to have a series of other treatments as the condition requires,it is expensive compared to others.
It may even require a jacket crown if the original one would not be able to function well after the treatment. The patient can choose among three materials: pure metal, semi-porcelain and metal, pure porcelain, which would also add to the cost of the treatment.

4. You may have to redo the treatment after 5-15 years

A dental clinic Toronto based guarantees that if given proper care, your root canal treatment would work well for the next 5 up to 15 years.
However, if you do not take care of it, like eating on the treated part with hard nuts and the likes, or if it is in your genetics to have weak teeth, you may have to redo it even less than 5 years.
