At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, we understand that tooth pain and infection can significantly affect your comfort and daily life.
Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and help preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
Root canal treatment is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth. The damaged tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to help prevent further infection.
Where appropriate, a dental crown may be recommended after treatment to strengthen and protect the tooth.
Ongoing pain when eating, drinking, or biting.
Lingering sensitivity that does not improve.
Swollen gums, tenderness, or signs of infection around a tooth.
Darkening of a tooth due to internal damage or infection.
Injury or decay that exposes the inner portion of the tooth.
Dr Legin will examine your tooth, discuss symptoms, and may take X-rays to assess the extent of the infection.
Your treatment options, expected outcomes, and any risks or limitations will be clearly explained.
Local anaesthesia is used to ensure the area is numb and comfortable during the procedure.
After the root canal is completed, the tooth may require a filling or crown to restore strength and function.
We understand that many patients feel nervous about root canal treatment. Dr Legin takes the time to explain every step of the process clearly and provide care in a calm, supportive environment.
Our goal is to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident throughout your treatment.
Modern root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Local anaesthesia is used to keep the area numb during the procedure.
Treatment time depends on the condition of the tooth and complexity of the infection. Some cases may require more than one visit.
In many cases, root canal treatment can successfully preserve a damaged or infected tooth for many years.
The tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to protect it and restore normal function.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, extraction may be an alternative. Your dentist will explain all suitable options.
A dental examination and X-rays are required to determine whether root canal therapy is appropriate.
