ADVANCED ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN MELBOURNE
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal treatment aims to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
The treatment involves drilling a hole into the decayed tooth and removing the soft centre, known as the dental pulp. This dental pulp comprises connective tissue, nerves and blood supply and extends into the roots of the tooth. Removing the inflamed or infected pulp eliminates the source of pain and allows healing.
What Are the Signs That I Might Need a Root Canal?
- Severe toothache
- Discomfort when chewing or biting
- Sensitivity to hot or cold lingers around after the hot/cold has been removed
