What’s the Deal With Root Canals?

Think of a root canal as a rescue mission for your tooth. When the soft inner pulp of your tooth becomes inflamed or infected—usually due to decay or trauma—it needs immediate attention. Instead of removing the tooth, a root canal clears out the infection, preserves the tooth structure, and restores your smile.

Unlike outdated perceptions, modern root canals are straightforward and relatively painless, thanks to advanced technology and expert care. The goal? To relieve your discomfort and protect your natural tooth for years to come.

Who Needs a Root Canal Treatment?

Root canals are the go-to solution for:

  • Severe Toothaches: Pain that lingers, especially when biting or chewing.
  • Sensitivity to Temperature: Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and food.
  • Swelling or Tenderness: Inflammation or a noticeable lump near the tooth.
  • Darkened Tooth Colour: A sign of internal damage or decay.
  • Recurring Infections: When an untreated cavity or prior dental work leads to abscesses or infections.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait! Our team will assess your situation and recommend the best course of action to save your tooth.

The Journey To Saving Your Smile

Here’s how we ensure your root canal treatment is as smooth as possible:

  1. Examination and X-rays

    We start by assessing the extent of the infection or damage through a thorough examination and X-rays, giving us a clear picture of the tooth’s condition and confirming whether a root canal is needed.

  2. Numbing the Area

    Your comfort is our top priority. We’ll administer a suitable sedation option to ensure you feel no discomfort during the procedure.

  3. Cleaning the Infected Tooth

    Once you’re fully numb, we access the tooth’s inner chamber to carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp. We then clean and disinfect the space to eliminate any lingering bacteria.

  4. Sealing the Deal

    After cleaning the tooth, we fill the empty canals with a specialised material called gutta-percha, which seals and protects the tooth from future infection.

  5. Strengthening Your Tooth

    Finally, we place a crown or filling over the tooth to restore its strength and function, ensuring it fits seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.

FAQs

Will a root canal save my tooth permanently?

Absolutely! Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection and protect your tooth from future issues. With proper care, like regular check-ups, cleanings, and good oral hygiene, your treated tooth can last a lifetime. Once restored with a crown or filling, it will function just like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently for years to come.

Is the procedure painful?

Thanks to modern sedation options, root canal treatment is typically a minimally disrupting experience. While you may feel some pressure, there’s almost no pain involved. Most patients describe the sensation as being no different from having a routine filling. After the procedure, some mild tenderness is normal, but this can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and usually fades within a day or two.

What happens if I don’t get a root canal?

Delaying treatment can lead to worsening pain, infection, and potential tooth loss. An untreated infection can even spread to other areas of your body, causing serious health concerns. A root canal is the best way to save the tooth and restore your oral health.
