Root Canal Treatment in Gardens Dental Centre
Every tooth deserves a second chance!
Treatment Overview
Is a toothache keeping you up all night? Throbbing pain, acute sensitivity, or deep cavities may signal that the nerve in your tooth has been infected. But there’s good news: tooth extraction isn’t the only option you’ve got! With our state-of-the-art root canal treatment at Gardens Dental Centre, you can now alleviate infection while preserving your natural tooth structure. RCT is a simple, painless technique that allows you to regain a strong, healthy smile without the burden of regular dental treatments.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
The root canal, also known as the tooth pulp, is an area within the teeth’s roots that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, accidents, or fractures, it can cause severe pain and inflammation.
Root canal therapy is a procedure that involves removing damaged or inflammatory tissue from a tooth’s root (the canal). RCTs remove the infected pulp, sanitise the canal, and seal it to prevent further issues, all while keeping the tooth’s natural structure.
Who Can Get Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment in Gardens Dental Centre is beneficial to anyone with pulp damage or infection, such as:
- Consistent toothaches, particularly those that get worse at night.
- Chronic hypersensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet meals.
- Swollen and painful gums around a sore tooth.
- A tooth that has discoloured or darkened as a result of damage or decay.
- A gum boil or pimple signals a tooth abscess.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Pain relief
Following the first phase of the RCT, the severe toothache is promptly eased.
Prevents the spread of infection
RCTs help reduce the spread of infection, preventing it from harming surrounding teeth or jawbones.
Preserve the natural tooth and its function
This keeps your natural tooth while removing the need for extractions.
What Our Patients Say
My name is not Merlin. That is my son’s name. The treatment at the dental clinic was excellent. The dentist was very friendly and thorough. She did all the tests necessary to diagnose the problem. In the end it had to be referred to a specialist. But she prepared all the groundwork. I felt safe in her hands.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
What happens if I avoid root canal treatment?
Ignoring an infected tooth can result in serious problems like abscess, jawbone damage, and tooth loss. Timely treatment, such as employing an RCT, is critical.
Can children undergo root canal treatment?
Yes, children can have root canal therapy if necessary. We customise the process and utilise child-safe dental cements to meet their specific requirements while delivering a comfortable experience.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatments use a local anaesthetic to numb both the tooth and the surrounding gums, ensuring total comfort. Post-treatment discomfort is mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.
Consultation
We use X-rays to evaluate the current state of your tooth, decide the need for a root canal, explain the cost of root canal therapy, and develop a treatment plan.
Treatment
We use local anaesthesia to numb the area before performing the root canal procedures. We next remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canals, and apply a temporary filling.
Happy smiles
The tooth is then restored to its former appearance and function with a permanent filling and a dental crown. Follow-up appointments have been scheduled for review.
You do not have to let excruciating toothaches ruin your life any longer.
With root canal treatment in Gardens Dental Centre is now painless, quick and easy.
