What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure targeted at preserving a tooth that has been severely compromised due to decay or injury. This treatment aims to alleviate pain, eliminate infection and preserve the natural tooth structure. This process primarily focuses on the tooth’s inner workings, specifically the pulp chamber and root canals, which house the tooth’s vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels.
The treatment involves extraction of the compromised pulp, followed by thorough cleaning and disinfection of the internal structures. The now vacant and sterilised pulp chamber and root canals are then filled and sealed (typically with a crown or filling) to establish a defensive barrier against further complications. The entire procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia for your comfort.
Why Would I Require a Root Canal?
If the pulp of your tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or injured, it can cause severe pain and lead to an abscess. Root canal therapy is often the best solution to save the tooth and relieve pain in this case.
Signs you may require a Root Canal Therapy:
Severe toothache (intense prolonged tooth pain when chewing or applying pressure)
Sensitivity (to hot and cold temperatures that lingers on)
Abscess (swelling or pimple-like bump on the gum near the affected tooth)
Darkening of tooth (discolouration of tooth may indicate damage to the pulp)
