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 primary reason to undergo root canal therapy is to remove an infected nerve canal entirely – this is the best way to ensure complete relief from pain and maximise healing.

Prevent Tooth Loss

Root canal is also recommended to avoid tooth loss or extraction. The procedure leaves the natural tooth in place while removing the infection, preventing tooth extraction.

Relieve Pain

Noticing severe tooth pain indicates that your tooth may be damaged, dead, or infected. If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, tell your dentist, as root canal may be the best treatment for you:

  • Significant pain when chewing or applying pressure to the tooth.
  • Severe and sudden pain that can’t be alleviated with painkillers.
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet food and drink.
  • Painful swelling of the gum around the tooth.

Don’t suffer in silence – call us today.

Leaving Dental Infection Untreated Will Make Matters Worse

Just as removing the infection preserves the tooth and banishes dental pain, avoiding root canal treatment can lead to various problems.

Root canal infection won’t go away on its own and requires dental work as soon as possible. If left untreated, you can develop a tooth abscess, which can cause severe pain, nerve damage, and facial swelling. Remember that infection spreads, and particularly severe root canal infections can spread throughout the mouth, causing further damage, pain, and discomfort.

Don’t let this develop into a much bigger and more painful problem, book root canal therapy 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment Sydney

What is a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy (RCT) is a standard dental procedure that expertly removes infection from a damaged tooth. Using a specialist drill, an endodontic specialist makes a hole in the tooth, removes soft tissues and damaged blood vessels known as ‘pulp’, and seals the tooth with a crown or filling.

What are the Benefits of Root Canal?

The benefits of undergoing a dental root canal treatment are transformational. Critically, canal therapy enables your dentist to save the tooth, avoiding a costly extraction. The use of local anaesthetic also makes the procedure virtually painless.

How Long Does a Root Canal Take?

Endodontic therapy takes between 30 and 90 minutes, with complex cases sometimes needing slightly longer. The duration varies depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth’s location. Your dentist or endodontist will provide an estimated procedure time when arranging your treatment.

Will a Root Canal Hurt?

Contrary to popular belief, root canal procedures are virtually painless. While the infection is likely to cause pain and discomfort, the treatment itself should cause no more pain than a filling, thanks to the use of local anaesthetic.

Do I Need a Crown After a Root Canal?

Not always, but in most cases, your dentist will fit a dental crown following a root canal procedure. Back teeth are usually crowned or capped to prevent damage caused by chewing.

Root Canal vs. Extraction: Which to Choose?

We will always save the tooth where possible, so we will perform a root canal over an extraction if this is an option. RCT retains your tooth’s natural structure, whereas extraction can cause the teeth to shift and may need restorative work in the future.

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost in Sydney?

At Bexley Dental, our average root canal Sydney price is around $2500 However, each treatment is unique, so please get in touch with us for more information about our root canal fee. We also offer various dental payment plans to help you spread the cost of your dental care.
