Root Canal Treatment

Save an Infected Tooth and Relieve Pain

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is used to treat infection inside the tooth. At Allenby Gardens Dental, this procedure helps relieve pain, remove infection, and save your natural tooth.

When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected through deep decay or injury, root canal treatment may be the most effective way to restore oral health and avoid extraction.

How Root Canal Treatment Works

During root canal treatment, our dentists carefully remove the infected nerve tissue and bacteria from inside the tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and filled with sterile materials to prevent further infection.

In most cases, treatment is completed over multiple appointments to ensure the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.

Local anaesthetic is used during the procedure, so it should feel similar to having a normal filling.

After Root Canal Treatment

Once treatment is complete, the infection and pain should be resolved, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.

If the tooth has been heavily filled or weakened, our dentists may recommend a dental crown afterwards to provide extra strength and protection.

We recommend parents to bring their child in for their first visit when their first tooth has come through. This will allow the kid to get used to the dental environment and enjoy a ride in the chair. Our goal is to establish a comfortable and pleasant experience for the child and establish a good impression from a young age, so that we can help guide them towards looking after their oral hygiene together.
