When a tooth is severely infected or decayed, you may think extraction is the only option. But with modern root canal treatment, saving your natural tooth is not only possible—it’s the recommended choice. At Lumina Dental in Sydney, we offer advanced root canal therapy to eliminate pain, remove infection, and preserve your natural smile.
Root canal treatment (also called endodontic therapy) is a procedure designed to treat infection at the center of a tooth, known as the pulp. This area contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected—often due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma—intense pain or abscesses can occur.
During a root canal:
The infected pulp is carefully removed
The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped
The space is filled with a biocompatible material
A crown or filling is placed to restore strength and function
You might need a root canal if you’re experiencing:
Severe toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed
Swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums
Darkening of the tooth
A pimple or bump on the gums (indicating an abscess)
If you notice these symptoms, visit Lumina Dental in Sydney as soon as possible. Early treatment can prevent further complications and help you avoid tooth loss.
