Root canal treatment is used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth while aiming to preserve the natural tooth structure. It may be recommended when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, cracks, trauma, or other dental concerns.
At Albany Place Dental Practice, we guide you through your treatment with a careful and personalised approach to help preserve your tooth’s structure and function.
Root canal treatment may be considered when a tooth is causing ongoing discomfort or showing signs of infection. Symptoms can vary between individuals and may include:
A thorough examination and X-rays are required to determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate. Sometimes, infected teeth that require root canal treatment show none of these symptoms. This is why regular check-ups and visits to your dentist are recommended, as X-rays may reveal infection in your teeth that cannot be detected at the surface level.
Our team at Albany Place Dental Practice will carefully assess your tooth, explain what likely caused the problem, and determine if you are suitable to proceed with the treatment.
Root canal treatment involves carefully removing infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. The inner canals are then cleaned, widened and sealed to help protect the tooth from further infection. In many cases, a crown will be recommended after treatment to help strengthen and protect the tooth. Treatment recommendations are based on individual clinical assessment.
In some cases, a dental crown will be recommended to help restore strength and function to the treated tooth. We’ll also discuss ongoing care and follow-up appointments where needed.
