Root Canal Treatment in Hurstville
Gentle, Precise & Efficient Root Canal Therapy at Forest Road Dental
If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or gum swelling, you may need root canal treatment. At Forest Road Dental in Hurstville, we use modern techniques and equipment to provide safe, comfortable, and efficient root canal therapy that helps save your natural tooth and prevent further infection.
We understand that root canals have a reputation for being uncomfortable—but thanks to advanced dental technology, your experience with us will be quicker, smoother, and more pleasant than you might expect.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp (the nerve and blood supply) inside your tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread, causing pain, swelling, abscesses, or even tooth loss.
At Forest Road Dental, we use rotary endodontic instruments, which are more precise and significantly faster than traditional hand files. This results in:
Greater accuracy and cleaning efficiency
Reduced chair time
A more comfortable experience for patients
Improved long-term outcomes
We also use digital scanners instead of traditional dental impressions, further enhancing comfort and speeding up the process.
What Causes the Need for a Root Canal?
Root canals may be required due to:
Deep tooth decay
Fractured or cracked teeth
Repeated dental work on the same tooth
Dental trauma
Advanced gum disease spreading to the pulp
During the procedure, we create a small opening to access the infected canals. Using rotary instruments, we carefully clean and shape the canals, then seal them with a biocompatible filling material (gutta percha) and strong adhesive cement. A dental crown is often recommended afterward to restore strength and protect the tooth.
Common Symptoms Indicating Root Canal Treatment
If you notice any of the following symptoms, contact us as soon as possible:
Ongoing toothache, especially when chewing or biting
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Gum swelling or tenderness
A darkened or discoloured tooth
A pimple or boil on the gums (may indicate an abscess)
Prompt treatment prevents further damage and can often save your tooth.
