When a Root Canal Is Appropriate
In the case of a tooth where decay is deep and affects the nerve of the tooth, we offer root canals that will save you from resorting to an extraction.
The nerve supply of the jaw runs to each tooth, providing it with blood flow. When decay has gotten into the nerve, it dies out and results in an infection. If you have an infection or an abscess, a root canal is generally the best course of action. It is usually necessary in the case of teeth that have
- Decay
- Fractures
- Infection (abscess)
- Nerve damage
- Toothaches
- Trauma
The Procedure of a Root Canal
The decay is removed from the nerve and the chamber to the nerve sealed off so that the bacteria cannot re-enter the area.
We want you to enjoy stress-free dental care with minimised discomfort. Our range of sedation options is available to you to ensure that you stay relaxed throughout your procedure. We will only proceed with treatment once you are completely numbed. Having a root canal is likely more comfortable than you might have imagined and will provide the pain relief you’ve been hoping for.
