What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal in Red Hill is performed to save a natural tooth when the dental pulp or nerve centre has become infected or has died. This procedure avoids the need for an extraction, making it a more conservative and appealing option. It is a straightforward and painless treatment designed to retain as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Infection usually occurs due to deep decay or a fractured tooth that allows bacteria to enter the canal. If left untreated, the infection will lead to a dental abscess, as well as swelling and infection of the jawbone, which can be extremely painful. Our highly trained team uses advanced 3D X-ray imaging to successfully diagnose if endodontic therapy is required for our patients.
Your Restored Tooth Can Last A Lifetime
With proper care, excellent oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups, your restored tooth can last a lifetime. Herman Advanced Dental will perform 3D X-rays after the procedure to ensure the root canal therapy has been successful and the site is healing correctly.
