Root canal treatment or “Endodontics” is a dental procedure that saves your tooth from extraction. This is performed when the dental pulp is either inflamed or dead.
Over the years, root canal treatment has been given a bad reputation and some patients are uncomfortable with it. However, with modern tools and techniques, the procedure can be completed quickly with no discomfort.
The dental pulp (nerve) is composed of connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. The pulp becomes inflamed when the bacteria contaminates the pulp due to tooth decay, severe gum disease or trauma. The purpose of root canal therapy is to eliminate the inflamed tissue and bacteria that form inside the root canal and allow the surrounding tissue to heal.
If the procedure is correctly carried out and under normal circumstances, the root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime.
At Ek Dental Surgery, we perform the procedure with precision and accuracy and utilise the latest technology to make the process as comfortable and effective as possible.
If you don’t want your tooth to be extracted, restore it with root canal treatment . Don’t try to ignore the pain or delay your treatment as this could only lead to bigger oral health issues. Root canal treatment eliminates your pain caused by an infected tooth so there’s no reason to be scared. To learn more about the procedure, visit your Glen Waverley dentist at Ek Dental Surgery. We can explain the process clearly and address your anxiety issues if you don’t feel comfortable about the treatment.

Dr. Lydia is our best choice after compared with other dentists, especially on children's dental care. She is very patient and very professional on children's noncooperation. She explained the treatment clearly and given us good advice. She is always gentle when checked teeth. She used a lot of strategies to help my son for relaxing and be comfortable while filling a tooth. My son was very resistant to see dentist because he had a bad experience in another clinics before, but Dr. Lydia was very patient and given my son a lot encouragement. I highly recommended Dr. Lydia Vanessa Joy Grecia2021-04-09 Great team. Highly recommended! Honey Glaze Rosalyn2021-03-22 Fantastic and caring dental team. Highly Recommended!
