Root Canal Therapy Sydney
Root Canal Treatment in Sydney for Lasting Relief
Banish tooth pain for good with gentle and effective root canal treatment in Sydney. Clinically known as endodontic treatment, this precise procedure removes infection from inside the affected tooth, helping to save and restore its natural structure.
Performed by an experienced root canal dentist, our root canal therapy not only eliminates pain and discomfort but also prevents the need for tooth extraction, allowing you to regain full dental function and comfort.
At Bexley Dental, we provide comprehensive general dentistry, cosmetic, and orthodontic care. With decades of experience, you can trust your Bexley root canal dentist in Sydney to deliver exceptional results and help you restore your healthy, confident smile.
When to Consider a Root Canal
There are several reasons a root canal dentist in Sydney may suggest this treatment for you.
Remove Infection
The main reason to undergo root canal therapy is to completely remove the infected nerve canal, which provides full pain relief and promotes optimal healing.
Prevent Tooth Loss
A root canal treatment is also recommended to prevent tooth loss or extraction. The procedure removes the infection while keeping your natural tooth intact, helping you maintain a healthy and complete smile.
Relieve Pain
Severe tooth pain can be a sign that your tooth is damaged, infected, or no longer alive. If you experience any of the following symptoms, let your dentist know that root canal treatment may be the most suitable option for you.
- Sharp or intense pain when chewing or putting pressure on the tooth.
- Sudden and severe pain that does not go away with painkillers.
- Ongoing sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gum surrounding the affected tooth.
Don’t suffer in silence, call us today.
Leaving Dental Infection Untreated Will Make Matters Worse
Removing the infection helps preserve the tooth and relieve dental pain, while delaying treatment can cause serious complications.
An untreated infection will not heal on its own and needs prompt dental care. If ignored, it can develop into a tooth abscess, leading to intense pain, nerve damage, and swelling in the face or gums. In severe cases, the infection may spread to other areas of the mouth, resulting in further damage and discomfort.
Avoid letting a small issue turn into a major problem. Schedule your treatment in Sydney today.
What to Expect During a Root Canal Procedure
Before recommending root canal therapy, our dentists will perform a dental x-ray and provide a general consultation to explain the treatment’s process.
Pain Relief
Firstly, your root canal dentist will apply local anaesthesia to the area around your damaged or infected tooth. After numbing, the tooth is isolated from the rest of the mouth with a rubber sheet to prevent bacteria in saliva from re-infecting it during the treatment.
Root Canal Treatment
Once the tooth is correctly isolated and the affected area is numb, your endodontist will drill a small hole in it, leading to the root canal. Your dentist will then gently remove the dead pulp from the inside of the tooth before thoroughly cleaning out any remaining debris and applying anti-inflammatory medication.
Temporary Filling or Crown
After removing the infected pulp, your root canal dentist will fill the root canal with a latex derivative called Gutta Percha before sealing it with a temporary crown or filling. This temporary sealant will prevent bacteria from entering the root canal while you wait for your permanent filling or crown.
Permanent Filling or Crown
Once the tooth has healed – usually after one to-two weeks – the root canal procedure is completed with a permanent tooth filling or dental crown. This final step protects the tooth against future damage while strengthening the natural tooth. Following a root canal treatment, the tooth is no longer connected to the body via blood supply, meaning it can become weak and brittle. Encasing in a crown or expertly filling the tooth offers essential support to the natural tooth, and an extra post may be added if it requires further structural support.
