Affordable and Pain-free Care
at Port Kennedy Central Dental Care
We believe that everyone deserves to show off a healthy smile. Oral health concerns happen. When they do, you need high-quality solutions at a price that suits your budget. At Port Kennedy Central Dental Care, we strive to provide affordable care that doesn’t involve pain.
What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
If you have an infection in your tooth, we want to try to save it from being extracted. It’s always preferable to preserve your existing teeth whenever possible. A root canal treatment can do just that, restoring the health of your tooth and the beauty of your smile.
Many people don’t understand what is involved in root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy. It’s a procedure that cleans the infection out of your tooth so that it can function again.
What to Expect During a Root Canal Treatment?
We’ll make you comfortable with anaesthesia. We also offer oral sedation medication, as your wellbeing is paramount to us.
We’ll remove the infection from your tooth, then seal it off to prevent bacteria from re-entering it. Since the tooth doesn’t have the same stability it used to, we’ll place a dental crown to restore your oral health.
The Signs You May Need a Root Canal
There are certain symptoms that may indicate a root canal treatment is the most appropriate solution for you. These include:
A toothache when you chew
A darkened tooth
Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold
Drainage around the gumlines
Tender, swollen gums
Swelling in the neck or face
A pimple on your gums
You may think that severe pain has to be involved if you have an infection in your tooth. Surprisingly, you may feel no pain at all. A lack of discomfort doesn’t mean that your oral health is in good shape, which is why it’s so vital to attend your regular dental health assessments with us.
