Root Canal and Endodontics

Have you noticed pain when chewing food, swollen gums, teeth that are becoming loose, or a swollen jaw? There’s a chance you have an infected tooth. If left untreated, this infection could spread to other areas of your body, putting more than just your teeth at risk.

Untreated cavities, cracks, chips, or trauma to your teeth encourage harmful bacteria to enter the inside of your tooth (otherwise known as ‘dental pulp’), causing infection. Endodontics is a branch of dentistry concerned with treating this sensitive inner area, ridding it of infection.

How do we treat infected teeth?

We treat infected teeth with root canal treatment. Although it involves treating the inside of your tooth, it is often a straightforward and painless procedure involving seven simple steps:

We will take x-rays of your teeth to examine the damage

We will administer a local anaesthetic to ensure you feel as little pain as possible 

We open your tooth up and remove the infected pulp from within

If you have a dental abscess, we will drain it 

Then we clean your root canals and fill them with a rubber-like material 

We may place a crown (prosthetic tooth) on top to restore your natural smile
