Root Canal Treatment in Dubbo
If you’re dealing with a toothache, our first priority is to relieve your discomfort. Often, the pain originates from the tooth’s nerve, such as in cases of an abscess or trauma.
Root canal therapy is an effective way to stop persistent tooth pain while preserving your natural tooth. By opting for this treatment, you can avoid an extraction or the need to replace your tooth, maintaining the integrity and function of your smile for years to come.
What’s Involved?
Endodontic treatment begins with numbing the affected tooth to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. We’ll then remove the infection or damaged tissue within the tooth’s nerve. Once the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, it is medicated and sealed to prevent further infection.
After completing the root canal, we recommend placing a crown over the tooth. This extra layer of protection ensures the tooth remains strong and functional, as teeth treated with root canals tend to become more fragile over time.
Are Root Canals Painful?
With modern dental techniques, root canal treatment is a straightforward and comfortable procedure. Your tooth will be completely numbed with local anaesthetic before we begin, so you shouldn’t feel anything more than slight pressure. Our main goal is to address the source of your pain and ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible.
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as severe tooth pain or sensitivity to hot foods and drinks, you may have an abscessed tooth. Prompt treatment is essential, so let us know right away.
