WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection and swelling by removing the nerve, blood supply and bacteria at the centre of a tooth. Root canals may be carried out by your general dentist or an endodontist.

The infection is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and invade the tooth. This can happen after:

Tooth decay
Leaky fillings
Trauma – maybe a bang to your tooth

Root canals have been give a bad reputation in the past! However, nowadays modern endodontic treatment is very similar to having a filling and usually can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. At our dental clinic you can expect to be made comfortable throughout your treatment in the chair. After you appointment we will run through aftercare advice and answer any further questions you may have.

Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment allows:

Efficient chewing
Normal biting force and sensation
Natural appearance
Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

WHAT CAUSES A TOOTH TO NEED A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

The pulp is made up of soft tissue that includes nerves and blood vessels. The pulp will begin to die if it’s infected by bacteria. Bacteria can then multiply and spread, leading to infection that requires either root canal (to save the tooth) or extraction (to remove the tooth leaving).

The bacteria and the substrates ultimately pass out through the end of the root canal through the apex which may lead to pain and tenderness to bite on the offending tooth.

This process will continue because there’s nothing to stop more bacteria passing down the root canal, which causes the tissues around the end of the tooth to become red and swollen. This can make your tooth painful and, in extreme cases, your face may become swollen.

DO ROOT CANAL TREATMENTS HURT DURING THE TREATMENT?

Usually we can totally anaesthetize your tooth so that you feel nothing during your root canal treatment. Sometimes it may be difficult to numb the tooth. If this happens we will try a series of alternative techniques to fully anaesthetize your tooth. If this still does not work then we will place a sedative medicine within the tooth to help calm things down and then rebook you for another day.

WHAT IS THE COST OF ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

The price of your root canal is dependent of which tooth needs to be treated and the complexity of the case. Straight forward front teeth start from Rs: 2500 and back molars cost Rs: 4000. More complicated treatments like retreating molars costs around Rs: 5000-Rs: 7000.

We would normally ask that the tooth be crowned by your own dentist once the tooth has settled down. Costs of crowns and other indirect restoration is dependent on your dentists charges.

HOW LONG DOES A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT TAKE?

Root canals are all different and this is reflected through the amount of time needed for the procedure. In many cases at Lumos we are able to complete cases in one and a half hours. However, if more time is needed for more complex cases we will reappoint patients for a second visit to complete the treatment.
