Experiencing a painful toothache may indicate that tooth decay or gum disease has penetrated deep into your tooth. Instead of resorting to tooth extraction, our local dentists at Wagin Dental offer root canal treatment to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
Root canals are suitable for both adults and children with permanent teeth. This procedure is recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged but still salvageable.We may suggest a root canal if your tooth has been affected by:
Injury or trauma
Tooth decay reaching the inner pulp
Gum disease (periodontal disease)
Previous dental treatments causing complications.
When decay or infection reaches the tooth’s pulp (the nerve center), it can cause persistent pain and potentially spread infection throughout the body. Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure aimed at removing infected pulp, replacing it with a synthetic material, and sealing the tooth with a crown or filling. This restores the tooth’s appearance and functionality effectively.
