A root canal is a procedure many people worry about, but in reality, root canal therapy is designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth. In most cases, the discomfort you feel is caused by an infection or inflammation inside the tooth and the treatment addresses the source of the problem so you can get back to eating and smiling comfortably.
Root canal treatment in Castle Hill involves careful, detailed work to remove diseased or injured nerve tissue from inside the tooth (the root canal system). If the infection isn’t treated, it can spread into the surrounding tissue and bone, leading to swelling and painful abscesses.
Normally, a Castle Hill root canal will be completed over several appointments with the assistance of x-rays. The good news for patients is that we provide some of the latest pain relief options for patients undergoing root canal treatment in Castle Hill to allow for the most comfortable experience possible.
How is root canal treatment in Castle Hill Performed?
The first step of root canal treatment is taking a series of X-rays. This helps us assess the tooth, identify the number and shape of the canals, and determine the extent of infection or inflammation.
Our experienced dentist will start by drilling a small access chamber in the outer tooth enamel. This is so that they have access to the infected nerve. Then, using the latest endodontic rotary equipment the damaged nerve or root is carefully removed. It’s more flexible than traditional stainless steel files so it can be inserted deeper into curved canal channels. This makes root canal therapy more comfortable and more efficient for patients.
Once the infected or dead nerve has been removed the tooth root is cleaned and sterilised using a combination of water and/or sodium hypochlorite to flush away any debris from the tooth. This step helps remove bacteria and debris to reduce the chance of reinfection.
The final task is to back-fill and seal the tooth with a biocompatible rubber compound. This ensures that no infection can infiltrate down into the root canals themselves.
In many cases, the tooth needs extra protection after a root canal, especially back teeth that take heavier biting forces. A dental crown can help restore the tooth’s strength, appearance and function, and reduce the risk of the tooth cracking in future.
