This pulp, which has nerves and blood vessels, can get damaged by decay, cracks, or trauma. This leads to pain or abscesses. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it. This not only eases pain but also keeps the tooth intact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Why Choose Dentisterie Montreal?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We focus on patient comfort and successful results. Our clinic uses advanced tools for precise, quick procedures. Usually, it takes one or two visits, and sensitivity fades in one to two weeks.
