Root Canal Treatment
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain or discomfort? It might be time to consider dental root canal treatment. At Ballarat Dental Group, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be intimidating, but rest assured, our experienced team is here to provide you with top-notch care and ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience.
Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Dental root canal treatment becomes necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged. This can occur due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need our treatment:
- Persistent Toothache: Unrelenting pain in a tooth, especially during chewing or application of pressure.
- Sensitivity to Hot and Cold: Increased sensitivity that lingers even after the temperature stimulus is removed.
- Swollen Gums: Swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums.
- Darkening of the Tooth: Discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth.
Ignoring these symptoms may lead to more severe complications, including abscess formation and the spread of infection. If you suspect you need our treatment don't hesitate to schedule an appointment with our experienced dental team.
How Does Our Root Canal Service Help You?
Our root canal treatment is a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure aimed at saving your natural tooth. Here's how the process works:
- Thorough Examination: Our experienced dentists will conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to diagnose the extent of the infection and plan the treatment.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we use local anesthesia to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding area.
- Pulp Removal: We carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from the tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals to eliminate bacteria.
- Sealing the Tooth: Once cleaned, the space inside the tooth is filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
- Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality, ensuring a natural appearance.
