If you’re experiencing severe toothache or sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks, it could indicate a decayed or infected tooth. At Comfort Dental & Implant Centre, we’ll conduct a thorough oral health assessment to identify the underlying issues and discuss treatment options, prioritising the preservation of your natural teeth.
If extensive damage has affected your dental nerves, you may require endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal treatment. This safe and effective procedure aims to protect and restore your natural tooth. Moreover, it’s a cost-effective solution compared to the expenses of tooth extraction followed by dental bridges or implants.
During your initial appointment, we use 3D technology to thoroughly assess your teeth for decay and damage. This helps us tailor a treatment plan to enhance the health and longevity of your natural teeth. Our dentists will also determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
If needed, we administer a mild sedative to ensure your comfort. The process includes cleaning the infected tooth’s root chamber by removing the infected pulp, filling it with antibiotic solution and ‘gutta-percha’ to prevent reinfection, and sealing it with a composite filling. For extensive treatment, a dental cap or crown may be recommended to reinforce and preserve the tooth. We offer same-day dental crowns at Comfort Dental & Implant Centre.
The entire process typically spans 1-3 visits, depending on the severity of the treatment required.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it could indicate the need for root canal treatment. However, a comprehensive examination by a qualified dentist is still necessary to determine if you actually need a root canal treatment.
At Comfort Dental Centre, we strive to avoid extractions whenever possible. Root canal treatment is a restorative dental procedure that preserves and restores your natural tooth. With our advanced technology, gentle dentists, and mild sedatives, you can protect your tooth with minimal discomfort.
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, schedule your appointment today. Timely intervention can make a significant difference.
