Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. The area is then cleaned, disinfected and sealed to prevent further infection.
This treatment is usually recommended when bacteria enters the tooth due to decay, trauma or cracks, causing pain, swelling or sensitivity.
During root canal treatment in Richmond, your dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth and clean the root canals.
The canals are then shaped and filled with a biocompatible material called gutta percha, which helps seal the tooth and prevent reinfection.
Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to protect its structure and restore normal function.
Some teeth may require retreatment if infection returns or if the initial treatment is complex. This can occur due to hidden or additional root canals.
In these cases, specialist techniques and equipment are used to clean and reseal the tooth effectively, helping avoid extraction where possible.
Root canal treatment is usually a comfortable procedure performed under local anaesthetic. Most patients report little to no pain during treatment.
Some mild discomfort may occur afterwards, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and settles quickly.
Root canal treatment can be quite a long procedure but is usually painless. A small amount of discomfort is normal after treatment but this can be managed with painkillers available over the counter.

Below left is an example of a tooth which has had a problematic root filling. The existing filling material can be removed and replaced with a new filling (below right).
This final example shows a tooth with a perforation or “hole” in the side of the root causing an infection. This has been repaired with a different material called MTA and the infection has once again resolved.
