SHOULD I BE AFRAID OF A ROOT CANAL?

The Barrie dentists at Chapnick Dental Office understand that you might experience some trepidation at hearing that you need a root canal. The procedure has an awful reputation in popular culture. Fortunately, advances in technique and technology enable us to offer you a root canal experience that is much more pleasant than it used to be.

Put simply, there’s no reason to fear your root canal.

Our dentists usually recommend a root canal when you’re suffering from fairly extensive infection of a tooth. This infection can lead to serious long-term dental health issues, including gum disease and the eventual loss of multiple teeth.

Our Barrie dentists have years of experience performing root canal treatments. These procedures used to take multiple visits, but now can usually be completed in one office visit.

Once we remove the infected pulp from the tooth, most of our patients are relieved that they’ve undergone the procedure. We can’t say there will be no discomfort with a root canal. But we can say that the chronic pain of an untreated infected tooth far surpasses anything caused by a root canal.

If you live in the Barrie, Ontario areas and want to speak to our dentists about root canal treatment, please contact The Chapnick Dental Office today.
