Microscope Root Canal
Advanced Treatment for Tooth Pain and Infection
Persistent toothaches can often signal an infection deep within the root of your tooth, causing significant discomfort. At BluSky Dental, we offer state-of-the-art microscope root canal therapy to address these complex issues with unprecedented precision.
Every tooth is unique, with intricate structures that can harbor hidden problems. Traditional methods might miss subtle details, but our advanced microscope technology allows us to see and treat even the tiniest areas of concern. This precision is crucial in preventing small issues from developing into larger cavities that could affect the entire root structure of your tooth.
Microscope root canal therapy is the most effective solution for alleviating pain caused by damaged or infected roots while preserving your natural tooth.

What is a Microscope Root Canal
At the centre of each tooth is the root canal, containing soft tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings. When gum recession or decay exposes this sensitive area, it can lead to infection, increased sensitivity, or severe pain.
Microscope root canal is an advanced procedure that uses high-powered magnification to treat these issues. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Enhanced Visibility: Our dental microscope provides up to 25x magnification, allowing us to see and treat the tiniest details within your tooth.
- Increased Precision: This improved visibility enables more accurate cleaning and shaping of the root canal system.
- Minimally Invasive: The precision of the microscope often means we can preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
- Improved Outcomes: The advanced technology typically leads to higher success rates, especially in complex cases.
The procedure involves carefully removing the damaged or infected tissue from within the tooth, thoroughly cleaning the area, and sealing it to prevent future infections. Despite its complexity, the treatment is typically quick and comfortable.
As with all services at BluSky Dental, we offer sedation options for patients who may feel anxious about the procedure.

Root Canal FAQ
Here are some common concerns people have about the root canal procedure.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
If you are experiencing mild to severe sensitivity in one or more teeth it may be time for a root canal. Other potential symptoms to watch out for include swelling of the gums, darkening of the tooth, or a little bump near the sensitive area. But you’ll need to have a dentist take a look at your tooth to confirm what’s happening.
Will my root canal procedure hurt?
The urban myth about exaggerated pain associated with root canal procedures has persisted for decades, most likely propagated by those who have never experienced one.
The site of the root canal is fully numbed before any work is done and your dentist may prescribe pain management medication to ease discomfort after the procedure is complete.
What is the process for a root canal?
First, local anesthesia is applied to the area. Your dentist will run a few checks to make sure that the area is fully numb before proceeding further. Next your dentist will make a tiny hole in your tooth so they are able to extract the compromised pulp.
The interior of the tooth will be fully cleaned and disinfected before the tooth is filled. The biocompatible material used to fill the tooth is known as gutta-percha, a safe and effective thermoplastic solution that has been in use for decades.
Finally, your dentist will seal the tooth. All of this is usually completed within a single visit.
How soon can I return to work after a root canal?
Everybody is different, but we recommend that you get some rest on the day of your procedure. Some people may be able to go back to work the next day, others will need 2 or 3 days before returning to work. Your dentist will advise you on the best course of action for your particular situation based on how you’re feeling.
If you have requested the use of sedation dentistry for your root canal procedure then you may need somebody to drive you home. It is not advisable to operate a vehicle or any other type of heavy machinery after receiving certain levels of dental sedation. In most cases it is generally safe to drive after receiving local anesthesia.
What kinds of fees are associated with root canals?
Your dentist will advise you on the cost of the procedure before doing any work so you know what to expect. If you have dental insurance, the procedure may be covered in full, or in part, depending on your plan. Please consult your insurance company for details on coverage.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal when recommended by my dentist?
An infected root should be taken seriously. If left untreated the infection can spread into the jaw bone and result in the loss of the tooth and/or bone tissue. The infection could spread into the rest of your body and potentially become life threatening.
