Emergency Root Canal & Dental Abscess Treatment in Edmonton

Severe tooth pain, swelling, or infection often means the inner pulp of your tooth is infected. Without immediate care, the infection can spread and cause serious health complications.

At Strathcona Dental Clinic, we provide same-day emergency root canal therapy and dental abscess treatment to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save your tooth whenever possible.

When Is an Emergency Root Canal Needed?

You may need an emergency root canal if you experience:
  • Severe, persistent tooth pain
  • Swelling of the gums, jaw, or face
  • Sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • A bad taste or pus drainage
  • Fever or general feeling of illness
These symptoms often indicate a dental abscess or deep infection that will not resolve on its own.

What Is a Dental Abscess?

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection caused by bacteria entering the tooth or surrounding tissue. It can develop from:
  • Untreated cavities
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Failed fillings or crowns
  • Gum disease
Left untreated, dental infections can spread to the jaw, neck, or bloodstream.

Emergency Root Canal Treatment Explained

A root canal removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, disinfects the area, and seals it to prevent reinfection. Emergency Root Canal Steps:
  • Numbing the area for comfort
  • Removing infected tissue
  • Cleaning and disinfecting the canals
  • Sealing the tooth
  • Planning final restoration (usually a crown)
Root canal therapy is pain-relieving, not painful — and often the best way to save a natural tooth.
