Typically, root canal treatment is straightforward, requiring two dental visits. However, some root infections can be complex, requiring special planning.
Our dentists have experience treating complex dental cases, but we may refer you to a trusted specialist if there are any concerns. However, this is rare.
About Root Canal Treatment in Katoomba
Your dentist will diagnose root canal infection through an exam and x-rays. The next step is removing the infection from your tooth’s canal under general anesthesia. Next, we clean the canal and fill it temporarily. Finally, at a future visit, we typically crown the tooth to avoid future complications like breakage.
You can prevent most root infections through regular brushing, flossing, and preventive dental visits. However, some root canals result from injury. So, wear your mouthguard if you’re competing in sports.
You’ll typically have a toothache and swelling if you have a root infection.
