What is a Root Canal?

This is a conventional process to save your natural teeth from the extraction. A well-performed root canal will let your treated tooth function normally and regain its natural grace. The main benefit of choosing root canal treatment is that you get to keep your natural teeth that will perform better than implants.

Inside your teeth, there is a soft tissue situated beneath the white enamel and dentin. Blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues are presented in these tissues. These tissues will help grow the root of your teeth while they are developing in the earlier years.

A dead nerve or infection can cause severe pain and it needs to be removed from there. However, you need not worry as with us, you are safe from any harm or dental trauma as we have a team of highly trained Endodontists to perform this procedure safely.

Reasons For Root Canal Treatment

Endodontic treatment is required when your tooth pulp is either infected or inflamed. A root canal is also needed when your internal nerves connecting to are dead and that will cause you an immense amount of pain. Common reasons for infection or inflammation are:

1. Tooth decay
2. Damaged, fractured, or cracked tooth
3. Trauma to the tooth resulting in pulp damage

If you don’t get the treatment, you will feel pain or swelling in the jaw and gums. If you are experiencing aching and prolonged pain after exposure to hot or cold, discolouration, or swelling then you have pulpal infection.

You need not worry as at Dental Sunshine, you will get one of the finest root canal treatments as our panel of doctors is very experienced and have a very high success rate in root canal procedures.

How our Endodontists Perform Root Canal Procedure?

The main motive of a Dental Sunshine Dentist’s is to save your teeth from various complications and bring the smile back on Australian soil. With the help of root canal treatment, we will save your decayed or infected teeth and save it from the extraction.

Digging the Hole

With the help of a dentistry drill, our doctors will make a small opening in your infected tooth. You need not worry as we perform this digging process by giving you anaesthesia. You won’t even notice the drilling process.

Now, all the pulp that is either dead or infected will be removed from your tooth with the help of the specially designed tools. These instruments will clean your inside of the tooth and remove the infection if there is left any.

Once the dead infected pulp, along with dead nerves is removed from your tooth, it will no longer feel the pain.

Disinfection Process

Our dentists will clean and sanitize your tooth with the help of antiseptic and antibacterial solutions. Our staff will make sure that it is disinfected completely.

After shaping the canals with the help of tiny instruments, our staff will select a root canal filling for you. It will be heated and then compressed into the walls of the hollow canals. This is the most important process as it will prevent your canal from getting infected again.
