This type of oral infection is typically painful and puts your surrounding teeth at risk. For these reasons, we consider root canal treatment a dental emergency in Katoomba, NSW.
In rare cases, you may not have pain because the nerve is no longer conductive. However, if you notice swelling and a blister on the gum, you likely have an infected tooth and should call our dental clinic as soon as possible.
Of course, some dental health issues can present with the same symptoms, so getting an assessment in our dental clinic is crucial.
Stabilisation and Root Canal Treatment
We provide gentle root canal therapy in Katoomba. First, we numb the treatment site and extract the infected or inflamed pulp. Your dentist seals the tooth after rinsing the canal to prevent reinfection. These steps save the tooth and relieve the pain and swelling, fully stabilizing your dental emergency.
At a future dental visit, we crown the tooth to restore the structure and prevent future breakage.
Do You Have a Toothache or Potential Dental Emergency?
