Do you experience severe pain in a tooth when biting or chewing? Maybe you experience teeth sensitivity when eating or drinking hot or cold foods and beverages? You might even have noticed an infection around a particular tooth. These are some of the common signs that you need a possible root canal treatment – the most effective option to save natural teeth.

Due to misconceptions about the procedure and the pain associated with a decaying tooth, many patients develop a dental phobia and avoid seeking treatment altogether, leading to tooth loss and other dental complications. This is why at Dental Plus the comfort of our patients is a top priority and all of our staff work towards providing you with a pleasant dental experience that is head and shoulders above most root canal treatments in Tauranga.

The Root Canal Process

A dental practitioner will perform a root canal on the affected tooth – a process that involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the inside of the tooth, filling the inner tooth again with a rubber-like material and finally protecting the tooth further with a filling.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment remains one of the most effective ways to save a tooth. Gone are the days when teeth extractions were the only option for severely damaged teeth. In addition to this, patients also receive the following benefits:

• Relief from pain
• Treatment of the infection and a reduction in bad bacteria
• Protected structure and health of natural teeth
• A natural-looking smile1
