Root Canal Treatment For Calcified Canals
Root Canal Treatment For Calcified Canals In Mississauga
As we age, the canals inside our teeth can naturally narrow or “calcify,” making root canal treatment more complex. At St. Lawrence Dentistry, Dr. Hawryluk Jr. uses advanced microscope technology and a precise, patient approach to treat even the most challenging calcified canals. If you’re in the Mississauga area and have been told your tooth is calcified, our team has the skill and tools to help.
What To Expect During Calcified Canal Treatment
Calcified canals form when the space inside a tooth root narrows over time, often due to aging, longstanding decay, or trauma from an injury. This can make canals difficult to locate and clean, requiring specialized skill and equipment. Dr. Hawryluk uses the Global Dental Microscope to locate calcified canals, along with small ultrasonic instruments and specialized irrigation to safely clear calcium deposits. Most single-rooted teeth take about an hour to treat, while molars typically take closer to an hour and a half.Â
