What’s the cause of a root canal?

Painless Root Canal Treatment

Inside your tooth are nerves and soft tissues called pulp.  These nerves and pulp can become damaged and need to be removed.  Once the tooth is damaged bacteria can begin to grow within the chamber.

This bacteria can cause an infection or an abscessed tooth. An abscess, which is a puss-filled pocket, forms at the end of the roots of the tooth.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Mt Druitt Dental Clinic NSW

A root canal is a procedure that repairs and saves an infected or decayed tooth by removing the nerves and pulp.

Having a root canal in Mt Druitt can save your tooth so you won’t have to have it extracted. The steps of a root canal are as follows:

  • Your dentist will use pain-free methods before the root canal procedure starts. Using these methods will help you relax.
  • Next, the infected nerves and pulp are removed through an access hole.
  • The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned
  • Medication is applied within the tooth
  • A temporary filling is applied.
  • Your tooth and gum will need time to heal and a second appointment will be made
  • During the next appointment, the temporary filling will be removed
  • A sealer paste and gutta percha, a rubber compound, will be placed in the root canals
  • A permanent filling will be installed
  • If you are interested in having a crown this will be done on a future date

What to expect after the root canal procedure

What is a Root Canal

Your tooth may be sensitive for a few days and you might need to take some over-the-counter pain medication. Most people are able to return to work or their regular activities the next day.

It is important not to chew on your tooth until the root canal therapy is completely finished.

Having a crown installed after your root canal is a good idea to help protect the tooth.

Continue to practice good oral hygiene so that the tooth doesn’t get infected before it has a chance to heal.

How much does a root canal therapy cost?

The root canal cost can vary depending on the number of canals in the tooth and if you are interested in having a crown placed on the tooth.

The average cost of a normal root canal Mt Druitt runs from $2,000 to $3,400.

If you want a crown applied it will cost an additional $1100 and $2000.
