What is root canal therapy?

In simple terms, root canal treatment Is used as a way to save a tooth that is labelled as ‘dead’.

Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is the procedure involving the removal of infected or dead pulp from your tooth root canal area (The area inside of the hard part of your tooth).

Once this matter is removed the cavity is filled with a permanent filling, and finally fitted with a crown. Your tooth has now been saved.

If root canal work is avoided and the situation worsen, the infection will become more severe and eventually lead to an abscess (A collection of pus that causes a bacterial infection and can spread to surrounding tissue with ease)

Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.

Occasionally treatment can be carried out on the same day as the initial consultation however a complex medical history or treatment plan or patients requiring Intravenous Sedation for treatment will require a separate consultation, at which time appropriate treatment appointments will be made.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
** Your referral letter and any x-rays if applicable
** A list of medications you are presently taking

NB: All surgical procedures and treatment under Intravenous Sedation are carried out at our Chatswood practice.

Injuries to the mouth can cause teeth to be pushed back into their sockets. Your endodontist may reposition and stabilize your tooth. Root canal treatment is usually started within a few weeks of the injury and a medication, such as calcium hydroxide, will be placed inside the tooth.

Eventually, a permanent root canal filling will be implanted.

Sometimes a tooth may be pushed partially out of the socket. Again, your endodontist or general dentist may reposition and stabilize your tooth. If the pulp remains healthy, then no other treatment is necessary. Yet, if the pulp becomes damaged or infected, root canal treatment will be required.

Nothing looks, feels or functions like your natural tooth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with six-month check-ups from your dentist, can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime.

Sometimes your teeth may have infection or disease and will need additional care. When possible, you should always consider treatments to save your teeth. You may think, why not have a tooth pulled, especially if no one can see it, but you will know your tooth is missing and it will negatively impact your quality of life.

Don’t get a tooth pulled because you think its easier or more cost-effective. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift, affect your ability to properly chew and ruin your smile. Tooth extraction often is more painful than the infection itself, and replacing an extracted tooth with an artificial one requires additional dental visits that can quickly add up.
