Endodontics in Saskatoon – Gentle Root Canal Therapy to Save Your Natural Teeth

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating issues inside the tooth, particularly within the pulp and root canals. When the nerve or pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or deep restorations, a root canal is often the best way to save the tooth and prevent further complications.

Endodontic therapy is one of the most common and successful dental procedures—and at BLOK Dental Studio, we make it stress-free from start to finish.

Endodontics is often part of a broader restorative dentistry plan and may be combined with treatments like dental crowns for long-term strength and function.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, it's time to schedule an evaluation:

• Constant or severe toothache
  
• Sensitivity to hot or cold (lingering)
  
• Swollen or tender gums
  
• A small bump or pimple on the gums
  
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
  
• Pain when biting or chewing
  

Not all infections are painful, so we recommend regular dental checkups and cleanings to catch internal issues early.

Root Canal Therapy in Saskatoon – What to Expect

At BLOK Dental Studio, root canal treatment is straightforward, efficient, and designed for your comfort.

1. Diagnosis & Imaging

We begin with a full clinical evaluation and digital X-rays to assess the tooth's condition. We’ll determine whether root canal therapy or an alternative, like extraction, is the best solution.

2. Anesthesia & Comfort

Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is pain-free. For nervous patients, we offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed.

3. Cleaning & Shaping

The infected or damaged pulp tissue is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.

4. Sealing the Canal

We fill and seal the canal space with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.

5. Final Restoration

A temporary filling is placed, and in most cases, we recommend a dental crown to strengthen and protect the treated tooth long-term.

• Dental fillings for minor restoration
