Hi, Dr Yong here from DENTL in East Melbourne.
Root canal therapy has a bit of a reputation, but the truth is it’s a highly effective and straightforward procedure that saves teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. If you’ve been told you need a root canal treatment, you might wonder what the process is like.
First, we start with a thorough examination and 3D imaging to assess the extent of the infection or damage. If a root canal is the best solution, we’ll make sure the tooth and surrounding area are completely numb before we begin treatment.
Next, we carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. This step eliminates bacteria and prevents further infection. Once the inside is cleaned and disinfected, the space is filled with a special biocompatible material to seal and protect it.
Many people think root canals are painful, but in reality, it’s the infection that causes the pain. Root canal therapy actually relieves you of the pain. Thanks to modern techniques and anaesthesia, the process is smooth, comfortable, and often completed in one to two visits.
So, if you have a toothache, swelling, or sensitivity, don’t ignore it. Root canal therapy can save your tooth and prevent further complications. Simply call us at (03) 8820 1699 or DM us to book an appointment. We’re here to help you get back to your happy, natural smile.
