Comprehensive Root Canal Treatments for Painful Tooth Infections
Browns Plains’ Root Canal Treatment Experts
Experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? A root canal might be your pathway to relief and oral health restoration. At Dental Aspects dentist in Browns Plains, we specialise in providing gentle, effective root canal treatments designed to save your natural teeth and alleviate discomfort. Utilising the latest techniques and technology, we focus on preserving your tooth, eliminating pain, and preventing further dental issue.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a straightforward procedure we perform at Dental Aspects to save and restore a tooth that's been damaged or infected. Think of it as a life-saver for your tooth! This treatment is perfect for when a tooth's inner part, known as the pulp, becomes infected or injured. Instead of removing the tooth, we can fix it with a root canal, keeping your smile intact and pain-free.
How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?
Our approach to root canal treatment is all about comfort and effectiveness. First, we gently remove the damaged or infected pulp from inside your tooth. Then, we carefully clean the inner chamber of the tooth and shape it for filling. The final step is sealing the tooth with a special material. This process not only relieves pain but also protects your tooth from future infections.
Root Canal Treatments
Many people have very unpleasant experiences with root canal treatments in the past, and based on past experiences, would rather have a tooth extracted than saved. Using our latest technology, the discomfort associated with root canals is minimized; encouraging you to save your tooth in the event it may require this treatment.
Root Canal Process
Root canal treatment is usually required when the tooth is nearly or completely dead. You might experience symptoms such as a hard lump in the mouth (that may or may not be yellow in colour, resembling a pimple), tender when chewing or biting, or most commonly continuous, aching pain that sometimes spreads to other parts of the mouth.
When a tooth reaches this stage, the treatment options are limited to either root canals or extractions. It is always best to keep your natural teeth in your mouth as it helps with talking, chewing and helps maintain correct bone height and jaw structure. Losing teeth may be the more affordable option, however in the long run you may suffer more, and will regret your decision.
If you think you may need a root canal treatment, talk to our dentist, who will address your concerns and explain all your treatment options with pros and cons of each.

Frequently Asked Questions on Root Canal Treatments
A root canal is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This treatment helps save the tooth, preventing the need for extraction and further complications.
Common symptoms include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, and discolouration of the tooth. Sometimes, there may be no symptoms, so regular dental check-ups are important.
Modern root canal treatments are generally painless, thanks to advanced techniques and effective anesthesia. Most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.
The procedure typically requires two to three visits, each lasting about 90 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of the infection.
Root canal treatments have a high success rate, typically over 95%. With proper care, the treated tooth can last a lifetime.
It’s advised to wait until the numbness wears off before eating to avoid biting your cheek or tongue. You should also avoid hard or chewy foods immediately after the procedure to protect the treated tooth.
In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a crown to protect it from future damage and restore its function and appearance.
Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, are essential. Avoid chewing hard foods with the treated tooth until it’s fully restored. Regular dental check-ups are also important.
In most cases, there’s no noticeable difference. If there’s discolouration, a crown or veneer can restore the natural appearance of the tooth.
The main alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction. However, it’s generally best to preserve your natural tooth if possible. An extracted tooth should be replaced with an implant or bridge to prevent shifting of the surrounding teeth and jawbone deterioration.
While rare, re-infection can occur. This is usually due to an undetected crack in the tooth, a breakdown of the sealing material, or new decay exposing the root canal filling material to bacteria.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and the tooth involved. We can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific situation, upon initial consultation. You can call us at (07) 3800 8899 to learn more about the cost of our root canal treatment.
