What is dental pulp?

 

The dental pulp is the soft internal part of the tooth that consists of connective tissue, nerves, and internal blood supply. The tooth pulp extends into the roots of the tooth and can become infected or damaged due to decay, disease, or injuries. When the dental pulp is damaged, bacteria can form and lead to infection at the end of the tooth’s root, This can lead to tooth ache or pain.

 

What is the root canal therapy procedure?

 

Endodontic treatment, or a root canal therapy procedure, involves cleaning out a decayed tooth to remove the damaged soft centre. Instead of extracting and losing a tooth, this type of procedure can help to save and maintain the overall function and aesthetic of the tooth. It’s not just a means to save and repair a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed — it's a way to preserve your natural smile, prevent further oral health issues and avoid the need for more invasive dental procedures.

 

Signs you might need a root canal therapy procedure

 

Many people only realise they need root canal therapy when they experience significant tooth pain. Here are some key signs that a root canal may be necessary:

 

  • Persistent pain that affects your daily activities

  • Sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers after the sensation has been removed

  • Tooth discolouration

  • Swollen gums around the tooth

  • A chipped or cracked tooth from an injury or genetics

  • Pain when eating or touching the tooth

 

The root canal therapy procedure at Glebe Point Dental

 

Our root canal therapy procedure involves several steps, all performed with cutting-edge technology and the utmost care for your comfort:

 

1. Diagnosis and X-rays — Our expert dentists will thoroughly examine your affected tooth and surrounding gums. The dentist will take an X-ray of the tooth to assess the extent of the infection.
 

2. Anesthesia and preparation — To ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure, we use local anaesthesia to numb the area around the infected tooth.
 

3. Cleaning the root canal — We carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp and clean the canal system thoroughly to prevent further infection.
 

4. Filling the canal — After cleaning, the canal is filled with a biocompatible material, which seals the tooth and prevents bacteria from re-entering.
 

5. Restoration — Depending on the extent of damage to the original tooth, we might recommend placing a crown to strengthen and protect the tooth from future damage.

 

Depending on the extent of the problem, a few appointments may be required to clean, shape, and fill the hole. In some cases, it may be necessary to insert a small support structure into the root canal, or cap the tooth with an artificial crown to preserve the strength of the tooth. In most cases root canal therapy is a painless procedure.

​

Post-treatment care

 

Our team will provide detailed care instructions after your root canal therapy procedure. Here are some general tips:

 

  • Avoid chewing with the treated tooth until it is fully restored — this prevents recontamination and protects the fragile tooth.
     

  • Keep good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice daily and flossing.
     

  • Visit Glebe Point Dental for regular check-ups and cleanings.
