Root Canal Treatment

Is tooth pain affecting your daily life? BlueSpa Dental professionals will get to the root of the problem…

Root canal treatment is required when a tooth is infected on the inside. This procedure also known as endodontic treatment needs to be performed promptly to save the tooth.

Why would I need a Root Canal?

Diseased tooth pulp (inside of the tooth) can cause inflammation or infection. Symptoms include:

• Sensitivity to hot and cold
• Pain when biting and chewing
• Facial swelling
• Swelling around the gum
  
• Oozing of puss surrounding the affected tooth

The tooth pulp can become infected from various factors including decay, gum disease and injury which can kill blood vessels and nerves. Dying nerves can cause a lot of pain if not treated.

Root Canal Procedure

Our experienced Dentists will ensure every possible step is taken to make you feel relaxed an comfortable throughout the procedure.

The Dentist will clean and disinfect the part of the tooth with the dying nerve and infection, lay and re-seal it so that there is no further complication. A local anaesthetic is used to ensure you are comfortable. About 90 to 95 percent of patients can expect a functional tooth after treatment.
