What you should know

Preserving teeth

When the nerve of a tooth is compromised or an abscess develops, a root canal procedure is often the best way to save the tooth. Symptoms such as tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling may indicate the need for a root canal. At Chandler & Nightingale Dental, your trusted Forest Hill family dentist, we prioritize maintaining your natural teeth, and root canals are a crucial part of that process.

Many root canal procedures can be performed right in our office. However, in certain cases that require specialized instrumentation, we will coordinate referrals to our network of highly trained experts. Both Dr. Chandler and Dr. Nightingale are well-connected to top specialists in the GTA, ensuring that you receive the best care possible.

All three - the dentist, assistant and a happy patient are smiling giving a thumbs up after a successful root canal procedure.

FAQ - Are Root Canals Painful?

This is a common misconception. The root canal procedure itself is not painful; however, the condition requiring a root canal can cause significant discomfort. If you experience severe tooth pain, don’t hesitate to call Chandler & Nightingale Dental at 416-927-0088. Our team will guide you over the phone to alleviate your discomfort and arrange a timely remedy.

Some patients have more complicated root canal systems than others, and in those cases we work with some of the most skilled and dedicated root canal specialists, known as endodontists that serve the Forest Hill, Mount Pleasant, Deer Park and Midtown Toronto areas as well as the GTA as a whole.
