The words “root canal” can make even the bravest patient squirm. But here’s the truth: a root canal doesn’t have to be painful, stressful, or something to dread. In fact, at My Smile Health Centre, it’s one of the most effective ways to save a natural tooth — and we do it with care that considers your entire body, not just your tooth.
Dr. Ivy Yu’s holistic approach ensures that root canal treatment isn’t just about stopping pain — it’s about restoring balance, comfort, and health from the inside out.

A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth. Beneath that hard enamel shell lies the pulp — a small space filled with nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria sneak in through a deep cavity, crack, or injury, that tissue can become inflamed or infected.
Instead of pulling the tooth, a root canal lets us carefully clean and seal it, so you keep your natural smile intact. At My Smile Health Centre, we perform this with advanced precision, modern tools, and a gentle touch — all while keeping your comfort at the top of our list.

Forget the horror stories. Root canal therapy today is far more comfortable than most people imagine — and at our Burnaby clinic, we make sure of it.
We use advanced imaging to pinpoint the exact issue, so treatment is precise and efficient. Local anesthetics and relaxation techniques help you stay comfortable throughout the procedure, and for patients who need a little extra calm, holistic sedation options are available.
You might even leave wondering why you were so worried in the first place. (We’ve seen it happen — more than once.)

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, your tooth might be sending you a not-so-subtle distress signal:
Catching an infection early makes treatment simpler, recovery faster, and results better.
After your root canal treatment, Dr. Yu and her team restores the treated tooth with a biocompatible crown or filling that blends seamlessly into your smile. Most patients feel relief almost immediately — especially those who’ve been living with discomfort.
Because your comfort and long-term health matter, we always follow up to ensure your bite remains balanced and your body adjusts naturally to the restored tooth.
A holistic root canal treatment isn’t an “alternative” treatment — it’s simply modern dentistry done thoughtfully. We use the latest techniques and materials, always considering how each choice impacts your overall health and comfort.
At My Smile Health Centre, your treatment is never just about one tooth. It’s about helping you feel good — from your jaw to your posture to your peace of mind.
