Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
What is a root canal treatment?
A root canal procedure is performed to treat from inside the canals of the tooth in order to save it when the nerve of that tooth has become badly infected or the pulp damaged.
A root canal procedure involves:
1. Removal of the infected pulp and nerve tissue inside the canal(s) of the affected tooth, in order to remove the infection and prevent future infection.
2.The hollow canal(s) after disinfection is then filled with a biologically inert material, called gutta percha. Then the space in the pulp chamber and the tooth will be filled with bonded resin permanently.
Following a root canal treatment, if the tooth has an extensive restoration, it is often recommended by Dr. Jacqueline Ha and her associates to be protected with a crown.
A root canal procedure typically requires one dental visit at Keele MajorMac Dental Centre and is performed by Dr. Jacqueline Ha and her associates or an endodontic specialist in case the tooth has some irregular hidden difficulties. One or two digital xray images are taken to assess the shape of the root canals and any indication of infection in the surrounding bony structure.
What happens following my root canal treatment?
Following the root canal procedure, a simple home care instruction will be given and a follow up appointment will help reduce complication risks. Dr. Jacqueline Ha or her associates may prescribe anti-inflammatories or antibiotics to help reduce the risk of infection.
Your tooth may be recommended to receive a crown or a crown and post for protection purposes. After the root canal treatment, once the tooth is healed at the apex, you will be able to enjoy food and drinks without sensitivity or pain.
My family and I have been coming here for years. The staff are wonderful & the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming.I am terrified of needles and pain, and had an implant procedure today which I have been putting off for years due to the fear! Dr. Ha & her team went the extra mile to make sure I had a pleasant experience despite my fears. She put on relaxing music to help me calm down & stay relaxed during the entire procedure and constantly made sure I was doing okay.
I highly recommend Dr. Ha if you are looking for a new dental professional to take care of your teeth & make you smile.

I had very crooked teeth and went to few dentists to ask about options to straighten my teeth. My aunt told me to come here and I came to check out. The receptionist was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. She helps me feel at ease because I am scared of the dentists. To my surprise, Dr. Ha is a very fun and friendly dentist. She spent lots of time and explained in details what I need to do to take care of my teeth during the time I wear braces. I was so scared when I had to remove my four teeth in order to resolve my crooked teeth. Dr. Ha did it so fast, no pain and I was very comfortable with her. Dr. Ha also placed braces on my teeth and now I have beautiful straight teeth, done earlier than I expected and I am so thankful that she is my dentist.
I strongly recommend all the clients I meet at my work place to see her for any dental treatment they need. Dr. Ha is truly a five star dentist with her exceptional skills, profound depth of knowledge and a great sense of humour. I highly recommend her. 😉😉😉

This dental centre has longer operating hours then most clinics in Vaughan which accommodate to my availabilities. The dentist and their associate are very nice and knowledgeable in their work of specialty. The staff at the dental centre are very professional and welcoming. They take on new clients and they have appointments after 6 p.m on weekdays.
I recommend all families and neighbours to give this dental centre a chance to work on your teeth if you live in this area of Vaughan.
