Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then seals it so it can keep working. It relieves the throbbing pain of an infected tooth and saves you from losing it. Most people say it feels like a long filling. If you live in Victoria Park, Lathlain or Carlisle, our Rivervale practice is only a few minutes away.
Inside each tooth is a soft pulp of nerves and blood vessels. When decay or a crack lets bacteria in, the pulp becomes infected. We clean the canals, shape them, disinfect them and seal them, usually over two visits, then protect the tooth with a filling or crown.
Who it's for
- Severe or lingering toothache
- Pain when biting or with hot drinks
- A swollen gum or abscess
- A tooth darkening after an injury
Relief
We numb the tooth and remove the infected pulp.
Clean and shape
Canals are cleaned and disinfected.
Seal
The canals are filled and sealed.
Protect
A filling or crown restores strength.
Modern local anaesthetic keeps you comfortable. The pain usually comes from the infection, and root canal treatment at Dentist @ Burswood is what removes it, so most patients feel relief soon after.
