Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment in Cranbourne

When a tooth becomes severely infected or experiences trauma, a root canal treatment may be necessary. A root canal is typically the last resort to save a tooth from being lost as a result of the nerve of the tooth dying. At Shine Dental Group, we offer affordable root canal treatment in Cranbourne to help save a tooth from extraction if it’s become infected or severely damaged.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal refers to the sequence of treatment for removing the pulp tissue of a tooth and cleaning out any infection. The end result is the elimination of infection and protection of the tooth from future infection. Root canal treatment can be performed in the chair at a root canal treatment dental clinic and is typically a painless procedure.

When is a Root Canal Necessary?

A root canal may be necessary when a tooth becomes severely infected or decayed or is damaged as a result of trauma. There are certain signs to watch out for that may indicate a root canal in Cranbourne is required, including:

  • Pain when eating or drinking
  • A constant dull ache that’s usually worse at night and can be radiating
  • Intermittent pain
  • Pain on biting (due to decay, cracking, etc.)

What Does a Root Canal Involve?

First, your dentist will determine if a root canal treatment in Cranbourne is necessary. This may involve an oral examination and x-rays to identify the current health of the tooth. If the tooth does need a root canal, your dentist will first apply anaesthetic to ensure you do not experience pain during the procedure. Next, an access hole is drilled from the top of the tooth into the nerve(pulp) chamber. The infected pulp is removed from the root canals using a number of different high tech instruments. Once this is done, the dentist fills the cavity with an inert material and seals up the opening. If enough of the tooth has been damaged or removed as a result of treatment, a crown maybe required. Finally, your dentist will provide you with aftercare instructions to follow to help minimise complications after the procedure.
