Root Canal Treatment – Repair is better than removal

A confident radiant smile is affected due to removal of tooth due to decay or injury. But what if you can save your tooth from removal. The solution is the Root canal treatment

The root canal treatment is done to a highly damaged tooth due to decay or injury saving it from extraction.

Importance of Root Canal Treatment 

There are a lot of methods for replacing teeth after extraction. But nothing can equalize the natural strength, chewing and biting function of a natural tooth.

Hence root canal treatment is a preferred option by the tullamarine dentists instead of extraction except in extreme situations of decay or injury.

Signs & Symptoms of Root Canal Treatment

With few symptoms such as

  • Severe pain when biting and chewing food
  • Tooth discomfort
  • Deep tooth decay
  • Inflammation near mouth in face

You must reach out to a general dentist or a root canal specialist for root canal treatment.

The Treatment Process

The professional root canal therapy by our skilled dentists include the process of,

  • Removal of the badly damaged or highly infected dental pulp (nerve tissue) inside the tooth and disinfected
  • Filling the disinfected space with a filling material called gutta percha to prevent bacteria from re-entering the space
  • Restoration and fixation of the teeth crown

The root canal therapy is performed by skilled general dentists or an endodontist who is specialized in root canals. Also they give a local anesthetic to the patient to ensure a pain-free treatment.

If a person feels afraid of root canal treatment, then the alternative is to remove the tooth completely which is more painful and leaves a permanent impact. In extreme cases, tooth removal is unavoidable, but when possible root canal is the best option as repair is always better than removal!
