Common signs that indicate a root canal is needed include persistent tooth pain that worsens when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods, swelling or tenderness in the gums, and darkening or discolouration of a tooth.
Some infections can be painless but still require treatment, so scheduling a consultation at DDTA Dental for an accurate diagnosis is essential.
Contrary to common misconceptions, modern root canal treatment is relatively painless.
At DDTA Dental, we use advanced anaesthesia techniques to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. While you may experience mild soreness or sensitivity afterwards, this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. The treatment provides significant relief from the pain caused by infection or inflammation.
A root canal procedure usually requires one to two appointments. The first session involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canals, and applying medication if necessary. A second visit is sometimes required to complete the filling and sealing process.
At DDTA Dental, we strive to complete treatment efficiently while ensuring optimal patient results.
After your root canal treatment, a temporary filling will protect the tooth. A follow-up appointment is usually necessary to place a permanent filling or crown to restore strength and functionality.
Proper aftercare, including good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, will help ensure long-term success and prevent reinfection.
Before eating, you should wait until the numbness wears off to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Brushing twice daily, flossing, and attending regular dental check-ups are essential to maintaining the health of the treated teeth and surrounding teeth. A protective crown can further enhance the durability and longevity of the treated tooth.
