When Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal treatment is often recommended to patients whose tooth nerve is badly damaged or infected due to bacteria. If not treated well, the pulp can die and spread further in the bloodstream. Nerve damage often happens when a deeper cavity reaches the pulp and infects it. It can also result because of trauma or an injury.

Potential signs signalling a root canal treatment may include:

• Swelling or tenderness near the gums
• Dental abscess
• Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold foods
• Immense tooth pain
• Pain during biting or chewing

What Happens During a Root Canal Procedure?

A root canal procedure is fairly painless and can be done in as few as two visits. Your endodontist will first examine your tooth with a dental radiograph and then apply local anesthetic to numb the tooth. Once done, an opening is made in the crown of the tooth and a small instrument called a ‘dental file’ is placed to remove the infected pulp and bacteria and to make room for filling.

After the cleaning, the tooth is sealed. Your dentist will seal off the root canal with a temporary sealant during your initial appointment and then replace it with a permanent one at your next appointment.

As a final dental restoration procedure your dentist will place a crown or onlay on your treated tooth as an additional protective measure to prevent further reinfection or decay.

At Shine Family Dental Surgery we follow a gentle and empathic approach when it comes to root canal treatments. All our dentists, hygienists, and staff utilise the best of dental technology, tools, and procedures to make your treatment as safe and pain-free as possible.
