Endodontic Treatment
Untreated cavities, cracks, chips, or trauma to your teeth encourage harmful bacteria to enter the inside of your tooth (otherwise known as ‘dental pulp’), causing infection. Endodontics is a branch of dentistry concerned with treating this sensitive inner area, ridding it of infection.
​
We treat infected teeth with root canal treatment. Although it involves treating the inside of your tooth, it is often a straightforward and painless procedure involving seven simple steps:
​
We will take x-rays of your teeth to examine the damage
We will administer a local anaesthetic to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible
We open your tooth up and remove the infected pulp from within
If you have a dental abscess, we will drain it
Then we clean your root canals and fill them with a rubber-like material
We may place a crown (prosthetic tooth) on top to restore your natural smile
New to Quay Dental. Only been with them a couple of months and am incredibly impressed with the team.
Root canal went well. Super easy. Very professional. Definitely recommend.
