Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a root canal and why would I need one?
A root canal (endodontics) is a treatment that saves a severely infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected nerve and sealing the tooth. It’s needed when you have deep decay, a cracked tooth, lingering sensitivity to hot/cold, severe pain, swelling, or an abscess. At AF Dental Scarborough, a root canal lets you keep your natural tooth instead of having it pulled.
- Are root canals painful?
Modern root canals at AF Dental are virtually pain-free. We use gentle numbing, advanced rotary instruments, and offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral sedation for anxious patients. Most people feel immediate relief from their toothache and are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is.
- How long does a root canal take at AF Dental Scarborough?
Most root canals are completed in just one visit (about 60–90 minutes). In some complex cases it may take two appointments. We keep same-day emergency slots open so you don’t have to wait in pain. After the root canal we usually recommend a crown to protect the tooth long-term.
- What happens after a root canal? Will I need a crown?
After treatment you may have mild soreness for 1–3 days (like a mild bruise), but most patients return to normal eating the same or next day. Yes, we almost always place a custom crown afterward to strengthen and protect the treated tooth so it can last for many years.
- Does AF Dental accept CDCP and insurance for root canal treatment in Scarborough?
Yes! We are a CDCP-approved provider and direct-bill most dental insurance plans. Root canal therapy is commonly covered. We also offer flexible financing and low monthly payments. Book your appointment today, don’t suffer with tooth pain any longer.
