When the decay and bacteria from the outside of the tooth reaches the pulp centre of the tooth, this can infect the nerve and blood supply of the tooth causing a toothache. Root canal treatment is generally like a deeper filling all the way to the ends of the roots of the teeth through several stages at the dentist.

Why should I save teeth?
- To be able to keep the other teeth upright instead of them shifting into the empty gap if the tooth is removed
- To give the remaining healthy teeth support with chewing
- It may be the front tooth and it is in the smile zone, so aesthetically it would be ideal to save it
- Have the ability to chew so that the opposing tooth doesn’t become a redundant tooth without its opposite chewer.

STAGES OF TREATMENT
How many stages does a root canal treatment take?
Every root canal treatment is different, but here is an overview of the steps in the treatment.
Stage 1
Removing the debris from the pulp chamber and placing antibiotics
Stage 2
Cleaning the walls of the canals out and shape them so it can later be sealed
Stage 3
Sealing the prepared canals to reduce any bacteria returning into the pulp
Stage 4
A crown is needed to encase the tooth and make it stronger
* It is very important that root canal therapy goes through every stage to be able to save the tooth so it can function without any temperature sensitivity.
Have a dental emergency?
If your tooth is decayed or damaged a root canal treatment will fix your infected or damaged nerves.

I never thought I could be so okay with going to the Dentist!

Sarah Parrish2024-03-21I'm not a great dental patient but I got the poor teeth in my family so I spend quite a bit of time in the dentist chair. I have gone to Nicole for over 10 years now and we have built a strong relationship where she knows me, what makes me nervous, and how to help me stay calm. This has built a really strong foundation of trust in Nicole and her team for my whole family.
Sarah Karancole2024-02-23Love this place!?! Best service from a dentist I’ve had in years the girls fixed my teeth up nicely. non judgemental positive environment also really went through with me and showed me the damage I had done and the next and best steps to keep my smile bright and beautiful and healthy. Was always abit scared of getting myself to the dentist would 100% go back here though.

Anna Hu2023-06-13Dr Yuen is a lifesaver. I had been getting migraines and to think it came from my tooth. She provided emergency treatment and scheduled me back to ensure that it did not happen again. She and her team provide holistic care for myself and my family. My toddler was booked in and they were amazing! He was not scared at all and had so much fun in the dentist chair! Thank you Yeronga Park!
