Root Canals in Amherstburg
Saving your tooth from the inside out
A root canal mechanically removes a damaged nerve from inside a tooth, cleaning out the innermost layer all the way to the tip of the root. Once cleaned, the canal is shaped and filled with a rubber material to seal it, so your body stops treating the tooth as a foreign object.
We use the latest rotary nickel titanium alloy instruments to navigate, prepare, and fill the canals, keeping the process as efficient and comfortable as possible.

What's happening, and how we fix it
What Causes It
Decay or trauma can lead to an infected or dying nerve. As the body sends white blood cells to fight it, pus builds up as an abscess at the base of the tooth, creating pressure and pain.
How We Treat It
With local anesthesia, we mechanically clean the damaged nerve out of the tooth, all the way to the tip of the root, then shape and fill the canal with rubber material for a secure seal.
Relief that starts right away
If needed, treatment begins with antibiotics and medication for discomfort, typically bringing real relief within 24 to 48 hours, so you’re not waiting long to feel better.
