Signs You Might Need Root Canal Treatment
There are several signs you might need root canal treatment or have infected tooth pulp:
- Throbbing toothache that disturbs sleep
- Sharp pain when biting or chewing
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold drinks
- Swelling of the gum or face near the tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gum that weeps
If you notice any of these symptoms, please phone us promptly. Early care shortens treatment time and preserves more natural tooth structure.
Our Gentle Step-By-Step Process
- Digital diagnosis – Low-dose 3-D x-rays show the number and shape of canals and spot hidden decay.
- Comfort first – Local anaesthetic and optional nitrous oxide keep you relaxed.
- Cleaning and shaping – Rotary files and antimicrobial rinses clear away infected tissue quickly and quietly.
- Filling the canals – A rubber-like material seals the cleaned space to lock out future bacteria.
- Restoring strength – A custom 3-D printed ceramic crown caps the tooth protecting it from fractures.
Most treatments finish in one to two appointments and you can return to work or study the same day.
