Abscess or Infection

Cracked or Decayed

What is Root Canal Treatment?
Inside every tooth is a soft pulp of nerves and blood vessels. When decay, a crack or trauma lets bacteria in, infection sets in — and a root canal stops it. Here’s how it works:
The Problem
Bacteria reach the pulp through decay, a crack or trauma, and infection develops deep inside the tooth.
The Treatment
We remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the canals, then seal the tooth to stop further infection.
Why Save It
Keeping your natural tooth protects your bite, jawbone health and the teeth around it for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does root canal treatment hurt?
How many appointments are needed?
How much does root canal treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on the tooth being treated and the complexity of infection. Health fund rebates may apply.
What happens if I delay treatment?
Delaying treatment can allow infection to spread, leading to worsening pain, swelling, bone loss, and eventually tooth extraction.
Why Penrith Dental Care for Your Root Canal
Saving your natural tooth is always our first priority. Every tooth supports your bite, your jaw and the teeth around it — so when infection reaches the pulp, a root canal lets us clear the infection and keep the tooth, rather than losing it.
Worried it will hurt? Today a root canal is no more uncomfortable than a filling. We use modern anaesthetic, work gently and take our time — and we only ever recommend treatment when it is genuinely right for you.
