Root Canal Treatment Ashgrove

Root Canal Treatment in Ashgrove, Explained

A root canal is carried out to save a tooth that has become badly decayed or infected deep inside, in the soft pulp that holds its nerves and blood vessels. Rather than removing the tooth, we clean out the infected pulp, disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. It relieves the pain an infected tooth causes and lets you keep your natural tooth, which is almost always better than losing it. At Herman Advanced Dental, we carry out root canal treatment gently and thoroughly, keeping you comfortable throughout, and we will explain each step so you know exactly what is happening.

Long-Lasting Results From Root Canal Treatment

Once treated, your tooth can last a very long time, often for life, provided you care for it well. Good daily hygiene, regular dental visits and a protective crown where needed keep it in great shape. We will give you clear advice on maintaining it for the long term.

Clears Up Infection and Pain

Root canal treatment in Ashgrove is a routine, well-established procedure, and with modern techniques and anaesthetic it is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests, usually no more uncomfortable than having a filling. If you are dealing with a persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling, it is worth getting it checked, because early treatment gives the best chance of saving the tooth. Call Herman Advanced Dental on (07) 3367 8947 and we will take a look and talk through your options.

Putting off treatment for an infected tooth rarely helps, the infection tends to spread and the pain usually gets worse, and you can end up losing a tooth that could have been saved. The good news is that a root canal is a predictable, effective way to deal with the problem and hold onto your natural tooth. We will always be honest about whether a root canal is the right choice for your tooth, or whether another option would serve you better.
