I had a major issue with an infected tooth, following a root canal in January 2025. I I was referred to Kawartha Endodontics, Dr. Rita Kilislian, after requiring a second round of antibiotics. She is a specialist in root canal therapy.
Confirming the infection, she scheduled me for an apicoectomy. She said the root canal done by my family Dentist was very well done, and not the cause.
I had the procedure on July 14. My biggest fear was possibly losing the tooth, as damage to the canal itself doesn't show on xrays.
Ive had cleanings that were more painful! Dr. Kilislian is fantastic!! Very thorough explanation of the entire procedure before beginning, and before each step done. Continually asking if I was doing OK. A firm but gentle touch.
I was so relieved when she said the tooth could be saved. The procedure, beginning with numbing the area before the freezing, to the final sutures took less than an hour.
The post operative instructions are clear, and easy to understand.
You are in very, very very good hands at Kawartha Endodontics. 100% recommend!! read more
