The tooth pulp is considered as the life of the tooth. It has several functions and some of which include sensory function and nutrient provider. It houses tooth nerves that make it possible for us to feel hot or cold food and drinks and it contains blood vessels that supply nourishment to the tooth, making sure that it is strong enough for function.
Without the tooth pulp, a tooth is considered non-functional and dead and therefore would have to be removed.
Therefore, any damage to the tooth pulp should be given immediate attention. These damages may be inflicted by extensive tooth decay, tooth infections, and trauma or injury to the tooth.
This can be extremely painful and cause a lot of discomfort for the patient.
Identity Dentistry dental professionals will always exhaust all means to keep tooth structures instead of relying on tooth extraction and eventually a dental prosthesis. If simple restoration such as dental fillings will no longer suffice to save the tooth, we resort to Root Canal Therapy.
What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy is the treatment to save the tooth structure despite the tooth pulp being infected or damaged. Depending on the severity of your case and during the initial consultation, your dentist Canberra will strategise a treatment plan that will be most effective and suitable for you.
Generally, this treatment involves removing the pulp and subjecting the patient to antibiotics to address the infection. When healed, the Canberra dentist is to insert a replacement filling to promote tooth strength despite the absence of nutrition from the healthy pulp.
Then, tooth restoration is done to ensure the tooth remains functional.
How Much is a Root Canal in Canberra?
The root canal treatment cost in Canberra depends upon the severity of the case as this would identify the difficulty of the case including the amount of tooth reduction, the infection and medications for it, and the corresponding restorative procedure to restore the normal functioning of the tooth.
