Root Canal Treatment in Lara VIC

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to remove infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth. The pulp, located in the tooth's root canals, contains nerves and blood vessels that can become inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma or cracks. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to serious complications.

Our skilled dental team uses advanced techniques and a patient-first approach to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

You might require root canal therapy if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Persistent or severe tooth pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums around the affected tooth
• Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
• A recurring pimple or abscess on the gums

If you notice these signs, seeking treatment promptly to avoid further complications is essential.

Your root canal treatment at Lifelong Dental involves:

• Assessment and diagnosis — Our team examines your tooth using advanced imaging to determine the extent of the damage.
• Removing infected pulp — The inflamed pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
• Filling and sealing — The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
• Restoration — A crown or filling is placed to protect the tooth and restore its strength and appearance.

The procedure is carried out with local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout.
