A root canal is required when there is an infection deep within your tooth, where the nerve or blood supply may be infected due to injury or a severe cavity. If you find your tooth has become damaged or cracked, you have tooth decay, large fillings or have recently had trauma to your tooth, you are leaving your tooth open to an infection and the chance of you requiring a root canal procedure is highly likely. If you’re looking for specialist care and need a root canal in Brisbane, our team of experts are here to assist.
Whilst initially there may not be any pain or discomfort, if your tooth changes colour and darkens, that is a sign that your tooth nerve is in danger of dying. If left untreated, not only can it be incredibly painful, but can also lead to a tooth abscess or even tooth loss. When a tooth becomes infected like this, the infection spreads to the centre of the tooth – known as the dental pulp.
If you have been experiencing severe tooth pain, it is possible that you may require a visit to a root canal specialist in Brisbane. Here at Racecourse Road Dental and Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on delivering elite and expert oral care to our clients – ensuring your comfort is first and foremost. A root canal procedure reduces the risk of infection spreading further, and can protect your overall oral health.
Root canal treatment involves the removal of the infected pulp of a tooth, eliminating the infection, and preparing it for a filling. If you have never had a root canal before, it is normal to feel a bit apprehensive, but our caring and passionate team will be with you every step of the way.
Before commencement for your root canal, we will perform a thorough oral examination and look for areas of increased sensitivity or anything else to be mindful of during the procedure. If all looks good and you’re ready to go, we’ll create a small hole in the tooth which allows us to remove the infected dental pulp. If the infection is more advanced, we may also remove the dental roots. Rest assured the dental roots help you feel sensations like hot and cold, but the functionality of your tooth will not be affected if this step is required. Once this happens, we will carefully clean and seal the area to make sure the infection is gone.
Our team is always here to make you feel as comfortable prior and post your procedure, but know it is normal to be sore for a few days after your visit. Managing your discomfort can be discussed with your dentist, who is able to prescribe medication to assist in pain management, protecting you from infection, and to help your body speed up the healing process. Your care and comfort always remains our first priority.
It all depends on how severe your infection is. Talk to our specialist team who can provide you with the information you need to know before committing to your procedure.
