Root Canal Treatment

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT: PRESERVe and protect

At Southlakes Dental, we understand that a tooth infection can be a painful and concerning experience.

Root Canal Treatments are designed to address infections caused by trauma or decay, providing a solution to save your natural tooth and alleviate discomfort.

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary? Root canal treatment becomes necessary when a tooth becomes infected, typically due to trauma or advanced decay. The infection affects the pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.

WHY CHOOSE ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

  • Preservation of Natural Tooth

    Root canal treatment allows us to save and preserve your natural tooth.

  • Pain Relief

    Alleviates pain and discomfort associated with tooth infections.

  • Prevention of Spread

    Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

  • Severe Toothache

    Persistent, severe pain, especially during chewing or applying pressure.

  • Swollen Gums

    Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.

  • Prolonged Sensitivity

    Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.

The Root Canal Treatment Process

  • Consultation and Examination: Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your symptoms.

  • Digital Imaging: X-rays may be taken to visualise the extent of the infection.

  • Local Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed.

  • Removal of Infected Tissue: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and disinfected.

  • Sealing the Canal: The cleaned canal is sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.

  • Restoration: A crown may be placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
