Root Canal at Dandenong Dental Care
Root Canal Therapy at Dandenong Dental Clinic
Root canal therapy is a dental process of treating an injured, inflamed, or infected pulp, which is the innermost part of your tooth. The tooth’s crown may remain intact even after the pulp is damaged. Root canal treatment is the most effective way to maintain the tooth structure.
Signs You Need Root Canal Treatment
In some situations, people may not know they have infected teeth. The following are signs that you need to start a root canal process with us.
- Persistent tooth pain: Pain may result from many dental problems. However, you need root canal therapy if you experience pain deep inside your tooth. Also, if you feel pain anytime there is pressure applied to your tooth, you need to start the root canal treatment immediately.
- Heat and cold sensitivity: If you feel pain when drinking something hot or eating ice cream, it is a sign you need to schedule a consultation with us. This is important, especially if it lasts for a few seconds.
- Swollen gums and jaws: When you have an infected tooth, pus may form on that area leading to tender and swollen gums. If pus doesn’t drain well, it may result in swollen jaws.
- Discoloured tooth: An infected pulp may alter your tooth’s blood supply, causing it to become darker.
- Loose tooth: Your tooth may become loose because pus from the damaged pulp may soften the bone supporting the tooth.
What Is Involved In The Root Canal Process
Once our experts decide that root canal therapy is the right treatment for you, they will plan two visits with you. The first visit will involve cleaning the affected area and pulp removal. The tooth will then be cleaned and covered to prevent bacterial infections.
Our team will finish the root canal process during the next visit by filling your tooth with a crown. This will protect your canals from further damage, especially from saliva.
What is the Cost of Root Canal Therapy?
The cost of root canal treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the infected tooth. It is, therefore, important that you visit our clinic for diagnosis as well as cost estimates.
