Root Canal Treatment: Saving Your Natural Tooth at SK Vision Dentistry

Experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity? A root canal treatment (RCT) might be the solution to save your natural tooth and restore your oral health. At SK Vision Dentistry in Seven Hills, Sydney, Dr. Sanjita Karna and our experienced team provide gentle and effective root canal therapy to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications. With over two decades of dental expertise, Dr. Karna understands the importance of preserving your natural teeth and ensuring your comfort throughout the process.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure designed to address infection or inflammation within the tooth’s pulp, the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause significant pain and potentially lead to tooth loss. RCT involves carefully removing the infected pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. This process effectively eliminates pain and allows you to retain your natural tooth.

The Root Canal Procedure at SK Vision Dentistry:

Dr. Sanjita Karna follows a meticulous, multi-stage approach to ensure successful root canal treatment:

  1. Diagnosis and Anesthesia: We begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience.
  2. Pulp Removal and Cleaning: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are meticulously cleaned and shaped using specialized instruments.
  3. Canal Filling and Sealing: Once the canals are cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent bacteria from re-entering.
  4. Restoration (Crown Placement): In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth, restoring its function and appearance. This is discussed with you and planned as part of the total treatment plan.

While some cases may require multiple appointments, we prioritize your comfort and efficiency throughout the process.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

  • Preserves Your Natural Tooth: Avoids the need for extraction and maintains your natural bite.
  • Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Eliminates the source of infection, providing immediate relief.
  • Prevents Further Infection: Stops the spread of bacteria and protects surrounding tissues.
  • Restores Function and Aesthetics: Allows you to chew comfortably and maintain a natural smile.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Saving your tooth is often more cost-effective than extraction and replacement.

When to Seek Root Canal Treatment:

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal:

  • Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
  • Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums
  • Darkening of the tooth
