Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth. It involves carefully removing the affected pulp tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to help protect the tooth from further infection.
At West Gippsland Dental, we use modern techniques and take a gentle approach to care, aiming to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
Keeping your natural teeth can support your oral function, appearance, and overall dental health. Root canal therapy offers an option to save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction, and in some cases, it may be more cost-effective than other tooth replacement options.
Most importantly, treatment can help relieve discomfort caused by inflammation or infection within the tooth, allowing you to return to eating, speaking, and smiling more comfortably.
Leaving a damaged or infected tooth untreated may lead to further discomfort and could affect surrounding teeth or gums. In some cases, the infection may progress, potentially requiring more extensive treatment later on.
If you’re experiencing symptoms or have concerns about a tooth, it’s best to seek timely dental advice. Our team at West Gippsland Dental is here to assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your situation.
