Experience Root Canal Treatment With Australia’s Leading Practice.

Endodontic Treatment, or more commonly known as a “Root Canal Treatment”, is a procedure aimed at treating an “Infected Tooth” with a dead or dying nerve.

If such a tooth is left unattended, it can cause severe discomfort or health risks due to infection. The common causes of a root canal infection are:

  • Deep decay
  • Trauma to the tooth
  • Crack or chip in the tooth
  • Occasionally, the cause may be unknown

Your dentist will first establish whether you need a root canal or an extraction. If a root canal is needed, the treatment will continue as follows: a small hole is drilled in the tooth (on the top of the tooth for molars and at the back for front teeth) to access the root canal/ canals of the tooth or teeth. This is all performed under local anaesthesia to provide a gentle and virtually pain-free experience.

Depending on the severity of the infection, root canal treatment can be carried out between 1-3 visits.

The dentists use specialised endodontic instruments, commonly known as dental files, placed in the root canal chamber to remove the infected nerve space. The root chamber is thoroughly cleaned out and disinfected before an antibiotic solution is placed inside the nerve chamber to help eradicate any remaining bacteria.

The root chamber is then filled in with a thick rubbery material called gutter percha to minimise the chance of any future reinfection. The tooth is then sealed off with two layers of filling materials to ensure a proper seal. We recommend finalising the root canal with a crown to help with durability and protection.

Frequently asked Wisdom Tooth removal questions

What exactly is a root canal?

A root canal is a treatment used to save a tooth that’s badly infected or damaged. Inside each tooth, there’s soft tissue called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp gets infected or hurt, it can cause pain. During a root canal, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans out the inside of the tooth, and then seals it. This helps save the tooth from needing to be pulled out and stops the pain. After the procedure, the tooth usually gets a crown to protect it.

Why would I need a root canal?

You might need a root canal if the inside of your tooth called the pulp, gets infected or damaged. This can happen because of things like deep cavities, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental work on the same tooth.

A thorough smile assessment during our consultation is necessary to determine if a treatment such as root canal is needed.

How long does a root canal take?

A root canal usually takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the tooth and how complicated the procedure is. For most people, it’s done in one visit, but if the infection is severe or if the tooth is hard to reach, you might need a second appointment.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

You might need a root canal if you experience:

  1. Severe tooth pain: Especially when chewing or applying pressure.
  2. Sensitivity: Pain when eating hot or cold food that lingers even after the temperature is gone.
  3. Swelling or tenderness: Swollen gums around the tooth or a pimple-like bump on your gums.
  4. Discolouration: A tooth that looks darker than the others, which can indicate damage to the pulp.
  5. Repeated abscesses: If you’ve had frequent gum infections or a bad taste in your mouth.

A thorough smile assessment is necessary to determine if a treatment such as root canal is needed.

What should I expect after getting a root canal?

After getting your root canal treatment, you can expect a temporary filling to be placed if a crown isn’t placed right away. This is done by organising a follow-up appointment at Dental Boutique where our dentist can assess your recovery process and determine the best treatment plan.
