Root Canal Therapy in Melbourne Can Help Save A Smile & Stop the Pain!

What is Root Canal treatment?

Every tooth has a central ‘living’ core made up of nerves and blood vessels. Sometimes this area can get infected. If the infection is left untreated, it can spread to the bone and cause painful abscesses or could even spread to other parts of the body leading to potentially serious complications.

Root canal treatment aims to save the tooth by removing inflamed or infected nerve inside your tooth that is causing pain.

An infected, decayed tooth can be extremely painful and also cause swelling of the gums and cheek. Quick treatment can stop the infection from spreading to other teeth and also alleviates pain and discomfort.

Additional testing – Once a dentist has identified a suspect tooth, they’ll then perform additional testing such as radiographic assessment, percussion and vitality test.

Our experienced Melbourne dentist will perform the root canal procedure by removing the infected pulp and nerve tissue, gently cleaning and disinfecting the canal .In the subsequent visit, root canal is further cleaned and then filled with special filling material(Gutta Percha).The tooth is then filled & rebuilt with a crown to prevent any further damage or fracture.
