Root Canal Treatment
​
Root canal treatment is done to save a tooth that is suffering from an infected or injured tooth nerve. If an infected tooth is left untreated, serious oral implications can arise. Moreover, if not treated on time, the infection slowly spreads to other parts of the mouth. In order to save your tooth and prevent the spread of infection, the infected nerve has to be removed.
How Does It Work?
​
A small hole is made in the infected tooth to remove all the infected areas. Once all the dental pulp is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any traces of the infection. Then, the hole is sealed, and a crown is fitted to protect and strengthen the damaged tooth. Both the crown and fillings have the same colour as your tooth so that it appears natural. After a successful root canal treatment, you should not face any issues while eating or drinking.
Dental Fillings
​
If you have cavities within your teeth, it is recommended to get them filled right away. If a cavity is not filled, it gradually grows bigger and causes pain. In some cases, you can also lose your teeth due to cavities. Kildonan Park Dental offers dental fillings in Winnipeg. You can get your infected teeth filled with composite fillings, amalgam fillings or metal fillings as per your budget and aesthetic preference. In some cases, fillings can also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth.
How Are Fillings Placed?
​
To place a filling, dentists clean the affected area thoroughly to remove all the decaying matter and then put glue or bonding material (depending on the type of filling) inside the hole. Composite fillings usually cost more than traditional amalgam fillings, as they look more natural and also last longer. After the cavity is filled, you should be vigilant to prevent decay in and around the cavity. To prevent decay, brush your teeth twice using a fluoride toothpaste and floss once a day.
