RECOGNISING SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

When Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?

If you’re experiencing a persistent toothache, swelling around the gums, or discolouration of a tooth, you may be facing issues with your root canals.

Do you have a persistent toothache that won’t go away? This can often indicate an underlying issue, such as an infection or damage to the dental pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.

Other signs include:

  • Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Discomfort when chewing or biting
  • A dull ache or severe pain
  • Discomfort that wakes you up at night

Our dentists can diagnose the source of your pain and determine whether root canal treatment is an appropriate solution.

Consequences of Delaying Root Canal Treatment

Neglecting root canal treatment can spread infection, affecting neighbouring teeth and leading to more extensive (and expensive) dental procedures. Timely intervention saves your natural tooth and prevents the escalation of dental problems.

Our Gentle Approach to Root Canal Treatment

The root network in teeth is complex. Thus, we use advanced imaging techniques like CBCT X-rays to map the complex root canals and tailor our treatment to your specific needs.

Root canal treatment involves removing infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. This procedure is necessary in cases of tooth trauma, severe decay, cracks, or injuries leading to inflammation and infection.

While some cases need multiple visits, our team is dedicated to giving you a comfortable and efficient experience from initial consultation to post-treatment care.

What Happens During a Root Canal?

At Emerald Lakes Dental, we make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Before we begin, the area will be completely numbed so you won’t feel a thing.

During a root canal treatment, our skilled dentists remove the infected nerve from the tooth, thoroughly clean and medicate the canal, and then seal it to prevent future tooth infection. Root canal treatment usually takes 2–3 visits, with each visit being a few weeks apart.

Afterwards, a dental crown is recommended to protect and strengthen the tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure where the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth is extracted, followed by thorough cleaning, disinfection, and filling and sealing to avoid future infections.
You may need a root canal to address and alleviate pain or infection caused by damaged or infected pulp inside your tooth, which can potentially save the tooth from needing to be extracted.
With modern techniques and anaesthesia, the procedure is no more uncomfortable than a routine dental filling.
The length varies from patient to patient, but most treatments are completed in one or two appointments.
Yes, you can generally eat after a root canal, but it’s advisable to wait until the anaesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
