When the inner part of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, it can trigger a variety of symptoms. If something feels off with your tooth or gums, it’s worth getting it checked sooner rather than later.
You may notice:
While these tooth infection symptoms don’t always mean a root canal is required, they’re a good reason to book an exam. A dental examination can confirm the need for endodontic care and help you decide on the next steps.
We begin with a detailed dental exam and take X-rays to identify infection and assess the tooth and surrounding bone.
Next, we remove the infected tissue from inside the tooth and carefully clean the area to reduce the risk of further infection.
Once the tooth is clean, we seal the root canal space to help protect it and support long-term stability.
If needed, we recommend a crown or similar restoration to protect and strengthen the tooth. Learn more about options through our restorative dentistry services.
Fear not the root canal! It gets a bad reputation, but the treatment itself is usually easier than expected. Our general dentists use effective techniques to freeze the tooth before treatment begins to keep you comfortable throughout.
Here’s what to expect from root canal treatment:
Most patients return to work, school, or daily activities shortly after the procedure. We’ll give you any specific instructions depending on your case.
Until the tooth is fully restored with a crown or similar restoration, we suggest avoiding hard or crunchy foods on that side to protect the treated area.

If you’re looking for endodontics in Saskatoon, our team is here to help you understand your options and plan appropriate treatment for your condition.
Endodontics is the area of dentistry focused on treating the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp and root canals. Our general dentists provide endodontic care, including root canal therapy in Saskatoon, to help preserve natural teeth.
Endodontic treatment removes infection, relieves discomfort, and helps save the natural tooth. It supports better long-term oral health by avoiding extraction and the shifting of neighbouring teeth.
Most root canal therapy appointments take one to two hours. In some cases, a second visit may be needed if the tooth requires additional cleaning or restoration planning.
Saving the natural tooth is often preferred when possible. Dental extraction may lead to other dental changes and the need for a replacement. We assess each case and explain your options clearly.
Delaying endodontic treatment can allow the infection to spread, which may increase discomfort or reduce the chance of saving the tooth. Early care usually leads to simpler treatment and recovery.
Endodontic treatment costs vary based on the tooth, severity of infection, and follow-up restoration. For a personalized estimate, contact us to schedule a consultation.
In many cases, the treated tooth needs a crown or similar restoration. We’ll discuss your options as part of your treatment plan to help protect and strengthen the tooth long term.
We offer a full range of dental services, including neuromodulator dentistry, restorative dentistry, children’s dentistry, teeth whitening, and more, all provided by our general dentists under one roof.
It is and has been a pleasure to be a client of the All Smiles Dental Group in Saskatoon. They have provided great dental service. The receptionists are very helpful and knowledgable when it comes to understanding the insurance coverage for all claims especially where dual claims are involved. I will recommend All Smiles to my friends.

I have been a patient of Dr. Saganski’s for over 11 years. I am very, very appreciative of his help in my oral care and treatment of my TMJ. I have ALWAYS found both Dr. Saganski and his staff to be very professional, caring and helpful, both in the office and over the telephone. Very friendly place to visit! I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a new dentist!
