What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp—the innermost layer of your tooth—saving the tooth from extraction.

Sometimes, when a tooth gets hurt really bad, like from a big hole, a crack, or breaking, or if it gets knocked out because of an accident, it needs special care. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth, alleviate pain, and restore its function and appearance.

The Root Canal Procedure

The root canal process at Melbourne Emergency Dental Clinic typically involves the following steps:

Diagnosis: Using advanced imaging techniques, Dr. Lee or one of our expert dentists will diagnose the cause of your tooth pain and determine if a root canal is the best course of action.
Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area around the tooth will be numbed with local anaesthesia.
Pulp Removal: An opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access and remove the infected or inflamed pulp.
Cleaning and Shaping: The root canal space is cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare it for filling.
Filling: The cleaned root canal space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
Restoration: A dental crown or other restoration may be placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following your root canal treatment, you may experience some sensitivity or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days.

We will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and recommend a follow-up visit to check on the healing process and the placement of the final restoration if needed.

Key Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain Relief: One of the primary benefits of a root canal is the significant reduction or elimination of pain caused by tooth infection or inflammation. By removing the damaged pulp and nerves, root canal treatment can alleviate pain and discomfort, allowing you to enjoy your daily activities without dental pain.
Tooth Preservation: Root canal therapy aims to save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction. Preserving your natural tooth helps maintain your jawbone and facial structure and avoids the complications associated with missing teeth.
Prevention of Infection Spread: Treating the infected tooth prevents the spread of infection to neighbouring teeth and other areas of the mouth or body. This is crucial for maintaining overall oral health and preventing more serious health issues.
Improved Oral Health: By removing the source of tooth decay and infection, a root canal contributes to better oral health and prevents further dental problems. It also allows for easier cleaning and maintenance of the treated tooth.
Aesthetic Benefits: After the root canal procedure, a crown, or filling, is often placed to restore the tooth’s shape and appearance. This not only strengthens the tooth but also improves its aesthetic, ensuring that your smile remains bright and natural-looking.
Cost-Effective and Efficient: Compared to tooth extraction and replacement options, such as implants or bridges, root canal treatment can be more cost-effective and require less time for recovery and subsequent dental work.

“If you are looking for a Dentist, then look no further! Dr Ed, Faith and Ashley are the dream team at With U Dental. I had not been to the dentist in 10+ years and the experience was like staying at a 5 star hotel. The dentist clinic itself is just beautiful and has all the best dentist technology. My fear of X-rays are in the past. Client experience seems to be number one on their list of guiding principles with amazing care and after care. Thank you Dr Ed, I am no longer scared of the dentist chair.

“WOW. I was so nervous about going to the dentist. Ash (receptionist) was so thoughtful and compassionate . Dr Lee and Faith were very calm and kind which helped settle my nerves and explained what they were doing. Dr Lee removed my amalgam fillings safely. I felt very safe and supported. Thank you 🙏
