Root Canal Treatment in Malton, Mississauga – Pain Relief, Not Pain

Root canals have an undeserved reputation for being painful. In reality, a root canal relieves the severe pain caused by an infected tooth — and saves a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. At Bansal Family Dentistry in Malton, we perform root canal treatment with precision and care to get you out of pain fast.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

  • Severe toothache or throbbing pain
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
  • A cracked or chipped tooth with nerve exposure
  • Deep decay that has reached the pulp
  • Swelling or abscess near the tooth
  • Darkening of the tooth

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?

  • Local anaesthetic is applied — you should feel no pain during the procedure
  • We access the inner pulp of the tooth through a small opening
  • The infected pulp, nerves, and bacteria are carefully removed
  • The canals are shaped, cleaned, and disinfected
  • The tooth is sealed with a biocompatible filling material
  • A dental crown is usually placed afterward to protect the treated tooth

Root Canal vs. Extraction: Why Save the Tooth?

Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better choice. A root canal preserves the tooth root, maintains jawbone density, and avoids the cost and complexity of tooth replacement. Your treated tooth can function normally for many years.

CDCP Coverage for Root Canals

Root canal treatment may be covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible patients. Call our Malton office to check your coverage before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a root canal hurt?

No. With modern anaesthesia, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are relieved to find it far less painful than they feared.

How long does recovery take?

Mild soreness for 2–3 days is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients return to normal activities the next day.

How long does the procedure take?

Most root canals are completed in one appointment of 60–90 minutes. Complex cases or multiple canals may require a second visit.
