Root Canal Treatment

Preserving Your Natural Teeth  

At Mooloolah Dental, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth. That’s why we provide endodontic services, focusing on treating dental issues that reach the innermost part  of the tooth. If you’re experiencing pain due to decay that has affected the tooth’s nerves, our root canal treatment offers a relieving solution, aiming to save and restore your tooth to its natural function.

When decay advances to the point of affecting the nerves, it can cause significant pain and discomfort. Our priority is to save your natural tooth whenever possible. Retaining your tooth not only helps maintain your natural smile but also prevents other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems. Endodontic treatment, or a root canal, is a highly effective way to preserve a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Root canal treatment involves removing the decayed or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning the space, and then filling it with a special material to prevent further infection. 

This process can typically take 2 to 3 appointments, depending on the severity of the infection and the complexity of the tooth’s structure. At Mooloolah Dental, we ensure the procedure is as comfortable and painless as possible, using the latest techniques and anaesthesia to minimise discomfort.
Choosing to undergo endodontic treatment can have numerous benefits:
  • Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by tooth decay and infection.
  • Saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement.
  • Restores the full function of your tooth.
  • Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain.
