In reality, the procedure is a tooth infection of the pulp which can be eradicated in a fairly simple one or two-stage process. This involves:
• Carefully drilling into the tooth and removing the diseased tooth pulp from the chamber located inside the root canal.
• The chamber is then cleaned out and either immediately, or after a few days, is back-filled with a quick-drying resin, paste or cement.
• The root canal chamber is then sealed up to avoid any further infection entering.
• Finally, in most cases, the root canal is fitted with a crown to protect the tooth.
The problem is that when most people seek help from the best endodontist in Sydney they’re in some kind of root canal pain. In some cases, it can cause immense discomfort. This is why people are wary of the treatment, whereas, in actual fact, a tooth root canal is a painless procedure designed to relieve any discomfort.
Here at Southern Smiles, a problematic tooth can be quickly diagnosed using the very latest scanning and x-ray equipment, so we can deal with the issue fast. But in addition, we pride ourselves on modern and gentle dental techniques to ensure that the procedure itself is pain-free.

So what causes a root canal problem in the first place?
Infection of the tooth pulp can be caused by a number of issues including:
• Severe tooth trauma
• Deep decay
• Chips or cracks in the tooth enamel.
It’s advisable that you attend regular check-ups so these problems can be identified and fixed before problems take hold.
What to expect after therapy?
The good news is that treatment success occurs in about 90% of cases and it’s rare for endodontic patients to experience any problems after the procedure.
