Root Canal Treatment: The Key to Preserving Your Natural Tooth
Expert Solutions for Tooth Preservation: Root Canal Treatments at QC Dental
At QC Dental, we are committed to preserving your natural teeth and maintaining your oral health. One of the most effective ways to save a damaged or infected tooth is through root canal treatment. This procedure alleviates pain, treats infection, and restores the function of your tooth, allowing you to maintain your natural smile. Our skilled dental professionals use the latest technology and techniques to ensure your root canal treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to treat infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp—the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to decay, trauma, or cracks, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscess formation if left untreated. Root canal treatment removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the tooth’s interior, and seals it to prevent further infection.

Swollen Gums & Abscess
Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth. The presence of an abscess (pus-filled pocket) at the root of the tooth, visible on dental X-rays.
Discoloration
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
The Root Canal Procedure
01
Initial Consultation
- During your consultation at QC Dental, our dental professionals will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D X-ray, to assess the extent of the infection or damage.
- We will discuss your symptoms and determine if root canal treatment is the best option for you.
02
Anesthesia and Preparation
- To ensure your comfort, the area around the affected tooth is numbed with local anesthesia.
- A dental dam is placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva during the procedure.
03
Removing the Infected Pulp
- An opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
- The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed using specialized instruments.
04
Cleaning and Shaping
- The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for filling.
- Antibacterial solutions may be used to eliminate any remaining bacteria and reduce the risk of further infection.
05
Filling and Sealing
- The cleaned and shaped root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha.
- The tooth is sealed with a permanent filling to prevent contamination.
06
Restoration
- In most cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment will need a crown to restore its strength and function.
- The crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth and provide long-lasting protection.
