Root Canal Treatment
The team at Cannington Dental Centre strive to give you a fantastic experience every time you visit us. Requiring dental work doesn’t mean you should have a sense of dread. We want to change your mind about dental care and make sure you don’t feel nervous about your treatments. Every member of our staff is extremely gentle during all procedures.
Root canals are no exception. Though you might think that they involve a great deal of pain, thanks to modern dentistry, your root canal could be much easier than you dared hope.
Why a Root Canal Might Be Necessary
There are two primary reasons to get a root canal: an infection or inflammation. If there is an infection in the pulp of the tooth, the body can’t get rid of it due to the limited blood flow that reaches your teeth. We can flush it out with a root canal. Inflammation occurs when your tooth is hypersensitised. Again, your body along cannot stop this process. We can remove the pulp space to get rid of your pain.
During your root canal treatment, we remove the pulp material of the tooth, which is where the blood vessels and nerves are contained. After the pulp has been removed, we can fill up the space that’s left. A dental filling will be placed on top of that. A crown may be used to top off the tooth, making sure it isn’t in a weakened state.
We’ll do everything we can to make sure any pain is minimised during treatment. We may give you extra anaesthetic during your procedure. Before undergoing the root canal, it might be appropriate for you to take antibiotics to reduce the infection. Once we can diminish the cause of the infection, the procedure is likely to give you less discomfort.
After your root canal treatment, you may find that the area we addressed is a little tender. It can be easily controlled with over-the-counter medications. If you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to give us a call so we can advise you on what to do.
