Tooth Structure and Decay
When the infection spreads into the tooth root, most patients feel extreme pain and in some cases an abscess may form on the gum near the infected tooth. If it is left untreated, the infection can spread throughout the mouth and into other parts of the body, and you risk losing the tooth.
The pain associated with an infected tooth root leads to people fearing treatment. However, during root canal treatment, the pulp and nerve are removed and so the source of pain is removed. We provide anesthetic for patients who need pain reduction and sleep dentistry for those who may have dental anxiety. Our patients’ comfort is a priority and we will do our best to provide a low-stress dental visit for your root canal treatment.

Tooth Structure and Decay
Root canal treatment is a restorative dental solution that helps dissolve pain and save the affected tooth. During this treatment, the pulp and nerve in the tooth root are removed and the root is then cleaned and disinfected to remove the infection. We then fill the root canal with a special material that protects the root and stops bacteria and debris from taking hold in the future. Our team of skilled professionals will work with you to ensure that you are comfortable during the entire process. And if you suffer from dental anxiety, talk to us so we can work together and find a solution that works for you.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Sometimes patients feel no pain, in spite of an infected tooth root. This is why regular dental checkups are necessary so the dentist can monitor your teeth and watch for signs of infection. Most patients experience great pain with an infected tooth root and if not treated, the infection can spread, which is why it is important to know the symptoms and signs. Some of the signs you may need root canal treatment include:
How Root Canal Treatment Works
After the x-rays, your tooth root will be cleaned and disinfected. Once we know the infection has been removed, the root will be filled with a special material to protect it. If your infection is extensive, the dentist may apply specialised medicine and then schedule you for a return visit. Once complete, your tooth will be protected with a dental crown or another appropriate restorative solution.
