What is root canal treatment?
Endodontists, dentists who focus on the tissues inside the tooth, can diagnose and treat pain caused by infections or damage to the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). Conditions like tooth decay or a cracked tooth can lead to pulpitis, causing an abscess and intense pain. Root canal treatments are performed to remove infected pulp, eliminate bacteria, and preserve your natural tooth.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about root canal treatment at Stella Dental
Most people are able to resume their day without needing time off, although we recommend waiting until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid accidentally burning your mouth. The area around your treated tooth may feel sensitive for a few days, but this discomfort typically fades as you heal.
We understand that dental visits can be stressful, especially for those who feel nervous. To help you feel at ease, we use local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort and offer sedation options for extra reassurance. Our team is dedicated to creating a calm, supportive environment, ensuring your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, begins with local anaesthetic to numb the area and ensure your comfort. The endodontist will then place a dental dam around the affected tooth to isolate it. Next, they will carefully access the pulp tissue inside the tooth, removing any damaged, infected, or diseased pulp. The area is then cleaned and disinfected to remove all decay. Finally, the tooth is filled and sealed to restore its function and prevent further infection.
During your initial assessment, your dentist will conduct a series of tests to evaluate your symptoms. They will take dental X-rays to examine the structure of your tooth and may use hot or cold swabs to check your tooth's sensitivity. Tapping on your teeth helps determine the extent of any inflammation and how far it has spread. This thorough evaluation allows us to develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your specific needs.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain that lingers or worsens, it’s important to schedule an appointment with us for an assessment. Waiting too long can lead to further damage and reduce the chances of saving your natural tooth. Signs that you may need endodontic treatment include persistent tooth pain, unexplained discomfort in your mouth or jaw, or sudden sensitivity in your teeth. You might also notice inflammation around your teeth or gums. If left untreated, an abscess can become a serious health risk, so seeking treatment early is key.
