Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment in Manly
If you have a toothache that just won’t go away, you might need root canal treatment. It might sound scary, but modern root canal treatment is actually a painless and effective way to save your natural tooth and relieve symptoms of a toothache.
At Manly Dental, we focus on gentle care and making the whole experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is needed when the inside of your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. Instead of extraction of the tooth, we carefully clean out the infection under local anaesthesia, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent further problems.
Signs you might need a root canal
- Ongoing tooth pain or throbbing pain/ pain without any stimuli
- Pain that keeps you awake at night
- Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkening of the tooth
Why choose root canal treatment?
- Relieves pain and infection
- Saves your natural tooth
- Prevents the need for dental extraction
- Restores normal function
Gentle, modern treatment in Manly Dental
Root canal therapy today is very different from what you might have heard. With modern techniques and local anaesthetic, most patients say it feels like getting a filling.
Depending on the tooth, treatment is usually completed over two to three visits. Afterward, we may recommend a dental crown to strengthen and protect the tooth.
Don’t ignore tooth pain
Tooth infections won’t go away on their own — and the earlier we treat them, the easier it is to save the tooth.
