You may need a root canal treatment if you have an infected or damaged tooth pulp caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks or chips, or trauma.
Symptoms often include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, and tenderness in nearby gums. If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to abscesses and even bone loss in the jaw. Root canal treatment eliminates the infection, alleviates pain, and prevents complications, allowing you to retain your natural tooth.
Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is generally not painful. Modern dental techniques and anesthetics ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Most patients report that it feels similar to getting a routine filling.
The treatment relieves the pain caused by the infection or damage within the tooth. After the procedure, some mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Root canal treatment usually requires two to three visits to the dentist, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes. The exact duration depends on the case’s complexity and the affected tooth’s condition.
During the first visit, the dentist at Dental Care Mt Eliza will remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the tooth, and place a temporary filling. If a second visit is necessary, our Mt Eliza dentist will complete the sealing and restoration of the tooth, often with a crown, to ensure long-term protection and functionality.
The primary alternative to a root canal treatment is tooth extraction, which involves removing the infected tooth. After tooth extraction, options for replacing the missing tooth include dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
However, preserving the natural tooth through a root canal is generally preferred as it maintains the tooth’s function and appearance. Root canal treatment is often the best option for saving the tooth and avoiding the need for more complex and costly dental procedures.
After a root canal treatment, it’s important to follow your Mt Eliza dentist’s instructions for care.
Yes, your tooth should function and appear normal after a root canal treatment and proper restoration, such as a dental crown. The treated tooth will no longer have the nerve, but it will still be anchored securely in your jaw and perform like any other tooth.
The dental crown or filling will protect the tooth and restore strength, allowing you to chew and speak without issues. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your treated tooth can last a lifetime.
