What is a root canal?

A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals. It is done to save a natural tooth that would otherwise need to come out. Most back teeth need a crown afterward.

Root canal: specialist or general dentist?

Many general dentists perform root canals, especially on front teeth and premolars. Endodontists are root canal specialists with 2–3 extra years of training. They are often recommended for molars with curved or hidden canals, retreatments, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

None of North Vancouver's 54 clinics offering root canals list an endodontist on staff in our data yet. See endodontists in North Vancouver

Do general dentists in North Vancouver do root canals?

Typical reasons to see an endodontist: molars, retreatment of an earlier root canal, calcified or curved canals, or when your dentist refers you.

Is a root canal covered by CDCP or insurance in British Columbia?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers root canal treatment (endodontics) for eligible residents, and some cases may need preauthorization. A co-payment may apply depending on family income. Confirm with the clinic before treatment.

Does a root canal hurt?

Most patients say a root canal feels similar to getting a filling, because the tooth is numbed with local anesthetic. The infection beforehand is often more painful than the procedure. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is common and usually eases with over-the-counter pain relief.
