Root Canal Treatment in Caloundra
If the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may be recommended to help preserve the natural tooth where clinically appropriate.

At The Caloundra Dentist, we understand that many people feel anxious about root canal treatment. Our team takes the time to explain your diagnosis, discuss your treatment options and answer your questions so you can make an informed decision about your oral health.

Why Might Root Canal Treatment Be Needed?

The pulp is the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. If it becomes damaged through deep decay, trauma, cracks or repeated dental procedures, bacteria can enter the tooth and cause infection or inflammation.

In some cases, there may be no obvious symptoms. In others, you may notice:

  • Persistent tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Swelling around the tooth or gums
  • A discoloured tooth
  • A pimple-like swelling on the gums

These symptoms do not always indicate that root canal treatment is required. Following a comprehensive examination, your dentist will determine the cause of your symptoms and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.

Root Canal Treatment
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment?
1
Careful Removal
Your dentist carefully removes the affected dental pulp from inside the tooth before preparing the root canal system for cleaning and treatment.
2
Cleaning and Disinfecting
The inner root canal system is cleaned, shaped and disinfected to help reduce the risk of further infection.
3
Sealing the Canals
The cleaned root canals are filled and sealed with protective materials. Depending on your individual circumstances, treatment may be completed over more than one appointment.
4
Protecting the Tooth
A dental crown or another suitable restoration may be recommended following treatment to help protect the remaining tooth structure and restore its function where appropriate.
Preserving Your Natural Tooth

Where clinically appropriate, preserving a natural tooth can provide functional benefits and help maintain your natural bite.

Root canal treatment may help to:

  • Maintain normal chewing function
  • Preserve the position of neighbouring teeth
  • Reduce the need for tooth replacement
  • Maintain the appearance of your natural smile

Not every tooth is suitable for root canal treatment. Your dentist will discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual circumstances after a thorough assessment.
