Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure aimed at treating infections that develop within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, can become infected due to deep decay, cracks in the tooth, or traumatic injuries.
During the root canal procedure at eDental Karrinyup, your Dentist will:
1. Thoroughly Examine Your Tooth: We will conduct a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and identify the affected tooth’s root canal system.
2. Provide Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we administer local anesthesia to numb the area around the infected tooth. As mentioned, we also offer other sedation options if you prefer.
3. Remove Infected Pulp: Our endodontist will create a small access point in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean the root canal system.
4. Disinfect and Shape the Canals: The root canals are carefully disinfected to eliminate bacteria. They are then shaped to prepare for the filling material.
5. Filling and Sealing: Once the canals are cleaned and shaped, they are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
6. Restoration: After root canal therapy, the treated tooth may be more brittle. To protect and strengthen it, we may recommend placing a dental crown to restore its full function and appearance.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Therapy
- Persistent Toothache: Intense and prolonged tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, may indicate the need for root canal treatment.
- Sensitivity to Hot and Cold: Heightened sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, even after the source is removed, might be a sign of infected pulp.
- Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gum near the affected tooth can indicate infection.
- Discolored Tooth: A tooth that appears darkened or discoloured may be indicative of pulp damage.
