Root Canal Treatment in NE Calgary
A tooth with a deep infection or severe decay can cause constant, throbbing pain. A root canal treats the problem inside the tooth so you can keep the tooth. At Smiles at Saddleridge Dental in NE Calgary, we offer urgent root canal treatment with same-day appointments, and walk-ins are welcome for dental emergencies. We are always accepting new patients.
When Is a Root Canal Needed?
A root canal is often needed when decay or infection reaches the inner part of the tooth. A deep cavity, a cracked tooth or an abscess can all lead to this. Early care gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Signs of an Infected Tooth
- A toothache that does not go away

What Happens During a Root Canal
- Your dentist examines the tooth and reviews your X-rays.
- We talk about your comfort options before we begin.
- The infected tissue is removed from inside the tooth and the space is cleaned.
- The space is sealed to protect the tooth.
- Your dentist may recommend a dental crown to protect the tooth afterward. Learn more about Dental Crowns and Bridges.
