If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain or have been told you may need root canal treatment, the team at Mydental is here to help. We carefully assess your tooth and recommend treatment based on your individual diagnosis and oral health needs.
Our goal is to remove infection, preserve your natural tooth where appropriate, and support your long-term oral health.
Your dentist may recommend root canal treatment if a tooth has been affected by deep tooth decay, dental trauma or injury, infection within the tooth, a cracked or damaged tooth.
The infected or damaged pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and the tooth is sealed to reduce the risk of further infection. The dentist carefully accesses the inside of the tooth and uses specialised instruments to clean the root canals. Once cleaned, the canals are filled and sealed to help prevent bacteria from entering the tooth again.
Once the root canal treatment is complete, the tooth will need a permanent restoration to protect it and restore its strength. In many cases, this is a dental crown, although some teeth may be suitable for a different type of restoration depending on the amount of remaining tooth structure. Your dentist will discuss the most appropriate option for your individual situation.
No. Tooth pain can have many different causes, and a clinical examination is required to determine the most appropriate treatment.
The number of appointments depends on the condition of the tooth and your individual treatment needs.
Many teeth benefit from a crown after root canal treatment to help restore strength and function. Your dentist will advise whether this is recommended for your situation.
Suitability depends on the condition of the tooth, your oral health and the findings of your dental assessment.
We welcome patients with or without private health insurance and are happy to provide written treatment plans and fee estimates before treatment begins, helping you make informed decisions about your dental care. Most health fund claims can be processed on the spot through HICAPS, and clear communication and informed consent are part of every appointment.
