Root Canal Therapy in Fort St. John
If necessary, our dentists will save your tooth using root canal therapy.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal is used when the pulp of your tooth has been infected, inflamed, or is dead. Our dentists will clean the pulp and remove all decay in order to save the tooth.
Once the area is cleaned, we will restore the root of your tooth in order to prevent the infection from returning. A crown will be placed on top of the tooth to protect the tooth, restoring it back to its' full function.
With regular maintainence, your root canal should last your lifetime. We are always available to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact our practice to learn more.
Root Canal Symptoms:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food/beverages
- Severe toothache
- A pimple or abscess on the gums

Reasons for Root Canal Therapy
- Decay has reached the pulp (living tissue inside the tooth)
- Infection or abscess have developed inside the tooth or at the root tip
