If you’re dealing with a severe toothache that isn’t going away, you may have an infection inside your tooth. This infection affects the dental pulp—the soft inner tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels. Once bacteria reach this area, the pain can become unbearable, and the infection can spread quickly. At Mississauga Queensway Dental, we provide safe and comfortable root canal therapy to remove infection, preserve your natural tooth, and restore your oral health—all with little to no discomfort.

Why Choose Mississauga Queensway Dental for Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is often recommended when the pulp of the tooth is infected or damaged. Some of the most common warning signs include:
Sharp or throbbing tooth pain, especially when chewing
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks that lingers
Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the gums near the tooth
A darkened or discolored tooth
Pus or drainage near the affected tooth
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait—contact our Mississauga dental office right away. Prompt care can save your tooth and stop the infection from spreading.
What Happens During a Root Canal?
Many patients are nervous about root canal therapy, but the truth is, it’s very similar to getting a dental filling. Our dentists use gentle techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable from start to finish.
Here’s what you can expect:
Comfort First – We thoroughly numb the area so you feel little to no pain.
Accessing the Tooth – A small opening is made in the enamel to reach the pulp.
Removing the Infection – The infected tissue is cleaned out completely.
Sealing the Tooth – The inside is disinfected, filled, and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Restoration – A temporary filling is placed until a custom crown is ready. At your follow-up appointment, we will secure your permanent crown to restore full strength and function.
After treatment, you may experience mild tenderness, but the intense pain from infection will be gone.
Root canals often get a bad reputation, but they’re actually a tooth-saving procedure with many benefits:
Pain relief – The infection is removed, eliminating the constant toothache.
Tooth preservation – Keeps your natural tooth in place, avoiding extraction.
Natural appearance – With a crown, your tooth will look and feel just like the rest.
Efficient healing – Most patients return to normal activities within a day.
Cost-effective – Saving your natural tooth is often less expensive than extraction and replacement with an implant or bridge.
Simply put, root canal treatment gives you back your comfort, your confidence, and your smile.

How Is Root Canal Treatment Done?
Root canal therapy is a safe, modern, and virtually painless procedure designed to save your natural tooth and relieve pain. Thanks to advanced techniques and anesthesia, most patients report the experience feels very similar to getting a regular filling.
Here’s how the process works step by step:
Numbing the Tooth – A local anesthetic is used to fully numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Removing the Infection – The dentist carefully accesses the inner pulp chamber and removes the infected tissue using specialized instruments.
Cleaning the Canal – The root canals are disinfected with medicated solutions to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
Filling the Canal – The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling material (gutta-percha) to protect the tooth from further infection.
Restoring the Tooth – In most cases, a custom dental crown is placed afterward to strengthen the tooth and restore its natural look and function.
👉 Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment does not cause pain— it relieves it. Modern dentistry makes this procedure quick, effective, and comfortable.
