What is Root Canal Treatment at HealthOne?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that removes infected, inflamed, injured, or dead pulp from inside a tooth.
The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When bacteria reach the pulp through a deep cavity, crack, chip, old filling, or dental trauma, the tooth may become painful or infected.
During root canal treatment, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned, disinfected, shaped, filled, and sealed. This helps remove the source of infection and allows the natural tooth to remain in place.
Root canal treatment is also called endodontic therapy. “Endodontic” refers to treatment inside the tooth.
At HealthOne, our philosophy is simple: we aim to save your natural tooth whenever it is clinically appropriate, while keeping your care as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need root canal treatment if the nerve or pulp inside your tooth is infected, inflamed, or damaged.
-
Common signs and symptoms include:
- Severe toothache
- Pain that wakes you up at night
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Swollen gums near one tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- Deep cavity or decay
- Cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
- Dental abscess or pus near the gumline
- Previous dental work that has failed or become infected
- Tooth trauma from an accident or injury
- Tenderness in the jaw near the affected tooth
- Bad taste or odour caused by infection
Not every tooth infection causes severe pain at first. A dental exam and X-rays help confirm whether root canal treatment is needed
Do Not Ignore These Warning Signs
Book a dental appointment as soon as possible if you have swelling, severe pain, a gum abscess, fever, facial swelling, or pain that is getting worse.
A tooth infection does not usually go away on its own. Early treatment may help prevent the infection from spreading and may reduce the risk of needing an extraction.
If your symptoms are urgent, contact HealthOne Dental and ask about the earliest available appointment.
If you have severe pain, swelling, bleeding that does not stop, or a tooth that has been knocked out or displaced, contact our dental team as soon as possible.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, remove infection, and help preserve your natural tooth.
| 01 | Save Your Natural Tooth |
|---|---|
|
|
Keeping your natural tooth can help maintain your bite, chewing ability, and jaw alignment. |
| 02 | Relieve Tooth Pain |
|---|---|
|
|
Once the infected or inflamed pulp is removed, many patients feel significant relief from the deep pressure or throbbing pain caused by infection. |
| 03 | Prevent the Infection From Spreading |
|---|---|
|
|
Cleaning and sealing the root canal system helps reduce bacteria inside the tooth and lowers the risk of further infection. |
| 04 | Avoid Tooth Extraction Where Possible |
|---|---|
|
|
If the tooth can be restored, a root canal may help you avoid extraction and the need for replacement options such as a bridge, denture, or implant. |
| 05 | Protect Your Long-Term Oral Health |
|---|---|
|
|
Root canal treatment supports a healthier mouth by addressing infection at its source. |
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
Your dentist will explain each step before treatment begins. The exact process may vary depending on the tooth, the level of infection, and whether the tooth needs a crown afterward.
Steps for Wisdom Teeth Removal
| Step 1: Dental Exam and X-Rays | Your appointment begins with a dental exam and diagnostic imaging. This helps your dentist see the tooth roots, surrounding bone, and signs of infection. Your dentist will also ask about your symptoms, medical history, medications, and any recent dental concerns. |
| Step 2: Diagnosis and Treatment Plan | If root canal treatment is recommended, your dentist will explain what is happening inside the tooth and why treatment is needed. You will also learn whether the treatment may be completed in one visit or whether more than one appointment is needed. |
| Step 3: Local Anaesthesia | The area around the tooth is numbed before treatment begins. This helps keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. If you feel nervous about dental treatment, please tell our team. We are here to support you and make the experience as calm as possible. |
| Step 4: Cleaning the Inside of the Tooth | Your dentist creates a small opening in the tooth to reach the infected or inflamed pulp. The root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using dental instruments. |
| Step 5: Filling and Sealing the Tooth | Once the canals are clean, they are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material commonly used in root canal therapy. A temporary or permanent filling may be placed to close the opening |
| Step 6: Restoring the Tooth | Some teeth need a dental crown after root canal treatment, especially molars and premolars that handle strong chewing pressure. A crown helps protect the treated tooth and restore its strength, shape, and function. |
Will I Need a Crown After a Root Canal?
You may need a crown after a root canal if the treated tooth is weak, heavily filled, cracked, or located toward the back of your mouth.
Back teeth often need extra protection because they absorb more chewing force. Front teeth may not always need a crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure remains.
Your HealthOne dentist will explain the best restoration option after assessing your tooth.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not create it.
Most patients are numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure begins. You may feel pressure or mild soreness afterward, but this is usually manageable and temporary.
The pain people associate with root canals often comes from the tooth infection itself, not the treatment.

Root Canal Cost, Insurance and CDCP in Toronto
The cost of root canal treatment depends on the tooth being treated, the complexity of the case, X-rays, restoration needs, and whether a crown is required afterward.
Front teeth, premolars, and molars may have different fees because they have different root structures and treatment complexity.
OHIP generally does not cover routine dental services such as root canals performed in a dental clinic. Many patients use private dental insurance, workplace benefits, CDCP if eligible, or flexible payment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a root canal cost in Toronto, and is it covered by OHIP?
Root canal treatment in Toronto is usually not covered by OHIP when performed in a regular dental clinic. The final cost depends on the tooth, complexity, X-rays, and whether you need a crown afterward.
Private insurance may cover part of the cost depending on your plan. Eligible patients may also receive support through the Canadian Dental Care Plan. HealthOne can help you review coverage before treatment.
What happens during my first root canal consultation at HealthOne?
Your first root canal consultation includes a dental exam, symptom review, X-rays if needed, diagnosis, and a personalized treatment plan. Your dentist will explain whether the tooth can be saved, whether root canal treatment is recommended, and what restoration may be needed afterward.
You will also have the opportunity to ask about pain control, timing, insurance, and payment options.
How many appointments do I need for a root canal?
Many root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments. The number of visits depends on the tooth, the severity of infection, and whether additional restoration such as a crown is needed.
Your dentist will explain your expected timeline after examining your tooth.
Where can I find root canal treatment in downtown Toronto?
You can book root canal treatment at HealthOne Dental locations in downtown Toronto, including Harbourfront and The Well. These locations are convenient for people living or working near Union Station, the Financial District, King West, Harbourfront, CityPlace, and the PATH network.
