Endodontic Therapy at First Dental Studio
Root Canal Treatment in Brisbane CBD
Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure we perform here at First Dental Studio. Our team of oral health care professionals are highly experienced in keeping you comfortable and calm while offering skilled treatment to meet your oral health needs. We use advanced dental technology to provide precise treatment so you can rest assured that you’re getting the very best.
When an infection has seeped into the nerve of a tooth, root canals are necessary. The pulp (nerve chamber) must be cleaned out before the chamber is then sealed off, preventing infection from spreading and keeping your mouth in peak health.
Do You Require This Therapy?
If an urgent problem is left untreated, infection can spread into the body or neighbouring teeth. It is important to contact us if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- An abscess along your gum line (resembling a small pimple)
- Pain when chewing or applying pressure to the area
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages
- A tooth changing in colour
Even if you believe your symptoms are too mild to be a serious infection, it is important to schedule a consultation with our team so our professional dentists can assess your situation.
We’ll take a careful look at your unique condition and be honest with you about your options. While we always opt for the most conservative treatment, we may recommend a root canal if it’s necessary to save your mouth’s overall health.
What to Expect
We always assure our patients that this is a relatively simple, straightforward, and comfortable procedure. Our advanced rotary endodontic instruments help reduce your time spent in the chair, while also producing superior, precise, and highly successful results.
Before we begin the procedure, we carefully numb the area surrounding the affected tooth. In some circumstances, we may prescribe an antibiotic to alleviate any residual infection before we begin. To further maximise your comfort, we also provide a small prop for you to rest your teeth on, ensuring your jaw does not become tired from keeping your mouth open during treatment.
The procedure simply involves removing the affected tooth’s nerve and pulp, before thoroughly cleaning and sealing the area to guard against reinfection. The tooth will also need a crown placed over it to prevent any wearing or chipping away. First Dental Studio offers beautiful white crown options that look and feel just like your natural tooth.
