Many patients fear root canal therapy, believing it is painful or complicated. The truth is root canal therapy relieves pain and is a standard dental practice that saves your tooth from extraction or loss.
Root Canal Therapy in Avondale, Auckland
You'll typically have symptoms if you have an infection in the tooth canal. These symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the extent of your infection. With root canal infection, you may notice some or all of the following:
- Toothache or sensitivity
- Gum swelling
- A blister on the gum
- Discoloured tooth
Often, root infections, due to increasing pain and swelling, mean an emergency dental appointment in Auckland or West Auckland. At this visit, your dentist will ensure your symptoms result from root infection.
If they do, we numb the gum tissues around the tooth and extract the infection from the canal. Then, we clean the area and seal it temporarily to initiate healing. At a future appointment, we generally cover the tooth with a crown to protect and stabilize it.
