Even the strongest folks can be kept up by a toothache’s pain. If you’re sensitive to cold or heat, dealing with decay, a bacterial infection, an abscess, or inflammation, getting a root canal treatment can help stop the pain and save your tooth. Contact BK Dental for more information.
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a dental approach that addresses infections deep within a tooth. Once the canals are meticulously cleaned and disinfected, the tooth’s interior is filled and clogged to thwart any potential reinfection. This procedure effectively removes bacterial infection and preserves the tooth.
Moreover, extensive decay can cause inflammation, irritation, tooth sensitivity, and pain. In such cases, your dentist may suggest root canal treatment to remove the infected tissue, relieve pain, and restore the tooth.
It’s essential to understand that root canal treatment is not a painful process and helps rescue a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed.
Using X-rays before a dental root canal helps the dentist diagnose problems more accurately, plan the treatment better, and ensure the procedure goes well with fewer risks.
As shown in the photo above, the inside of the tooth seems infected. Sometimes, the outside of the tooth may appear cracked or chipped, and the gums around it might be swollen, red, or even darker in color. These examples give you a clearer picture of a root canal before and after the procedure, mainly when done on a molar.

How much does a root canal cost in Toronto?
The price of this procedure can vary based on several factors, including your location. In Toronto, the cost of root canal treatment can range from $500 to $6,000, contingent upon various considerations.
Root canal treatment for molars is notably pricier compared to front teeth and bicuspids. Root canal treatment for front teeth is less expensive due to having only one canal, whereas back teeth can have up to three canals. If all these teeth need root canal treatment, costs could reach as high as $5,000.
On average, you can expect to pay around $1,000 for a root canal, depending on the tooth needing treatment. Additional factors may also influence the procedure’s cost.
Here are the average costs of root canal procedures by tooth:
