Root Canal Therapy in Grimsby
Hearing you might need a root canal can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. At Olive Street Dental, we perform gentle, effective root canal treatments right here in our office, so you don’t have to be referred elsewhere for care.
Root canal therapy can relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore your comfort—all in a safe, relaxed environment.
What Is a Root Canal?
Inside each tooth is soft tissue called dental pulp. When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected (often due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma), it can lead to:
- Persistent toothache
- Swelling or tenderness
- Sensitivity to heat or cold
- Discolouration
- A pimple-like bump on the gum
If left untreated, infection can spread and eventually lead to tooth loss.
How Treatment Works
Many patients are surprised by how comfortable and straightforward a root canal can be.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Comfort First: We numb the area fully with local anesthetic so you won’t feel pain.
- Cleaning & Shaping: The damaged pulp is gently removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped.
- Sealing & Protection: The space is filled and sealed to prevent future infection. A custom crown is placed on top to restore strength and function.
Most treatments are completed in one or two visits, and you’ll be able to return to your normal routine soon after.
Why Choose Olive Street Dental for Root Canals?
While many dental offices refer root canal treatment to specialists, Dr. Amanpreet Kaur Sodhi performs most root canals in-house whenever possible. This means:
- You stay with the team you know and trust
- Fewer appointments at other clinics
- A familiar, comfortable setting
If your case is more complex, we’ll guide you to an experienced endodontist and coordinate your care every step of the way.
Caring for Your Tooth After Treatment
To keep your restored tooth healthy:
- Brush and floss as usual
- Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated side until your final crown is placed
- Visit us for regular check-ups
With good care, your tooth can last for many years to come.
