DO I NEED A ROOT CANAL?

Root canal treatment is needed when the pulp inside of a tooth becomes infected. Symptoms of an infected tooth may include:

• Increased tooth sensitivity
• Sharp or dull pain persisting in a single tooth
• Tooth darkening
• Gum swelling
• A chronic bad taste in the mouth that fails to go away after brushing

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, Barrie endodontist Dr. Adam Chapnick can provide a thorough evaluation to determine if a root canal is necessary. Please call (647) 504-4407 to schedule your evaluation today.

Nervous about Root Canal Treatment

Despite its reputation, root canal treatment is no more invasive or uncomfortable than having a dental filling placed. Dr. Chapnick performs the procedure under local anesthetic and takes great care to ensure your absolute comfort at all times. If you are nervous about your root canal, our Barrie endodontist would be happy to discuss sedation options that can help you achieve full relaxation during your treatment procedure. Putting treatment off for fear of discomfort can result in serious oral and systemic health consequences including increased pain and eventual tooth loss.

If you believe you have an infected tooth, please contact Chapnick Dental Office to schedule a thorough examination today. Our endodontist serves Barrie and all surrounding Ontario communities.
