Plan your Root Canal Appointment
A Root Canal Treatment in Auckland is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. QualityCare Dental is one of the best services for Affordable Root Canal Treatment in Auckland.
- Blisters or boil on gums.
- Cracked tooth.
- Bleeding or swollen gums.
- Sensitivity problem or feeling of discomfort while consuming any hot or cold food.
- Experiencing pain while eating, chewing or biting any food item.
- The first step of the treatment involves analysing the health of the dental pulp and surrounding tissue by getting an examination done with x-rays and special tests.
- In order to isolate the tooth from the mouth, a latex sheet called a rubber dam is placed around the tooth.Â
- Then a hole is drilled through the top of the tooth to gain access to the root canals.
- The root canal is measured for length and then cleaned and shaped with fine dental files. The root canals are also washed with sterilising solution.
- The root canals are sealed near to their tip with a permanent filling.
- The tooth is then restored back into useful function.
- If the root canals can be fully cleaned and sealed and the tooth properly restored, then treatment has a very high success rate.
- During the visits temporary fillings and dressings are placed in the tooth as the treatment could take several weeks to complete.
- Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed when an infection is present.
- Because root canals are very fine and curved in some teeth, it may be difficult to clean the canals completely. Occasionally a piece of a file may break often the root canal due to the strain placed on these fine instruments. Sometimes these are retrievable, but they may also be sealed in the root canal as part of the filling.
- Pain or discomfort may occur between appointments due to ongoing tenderness of the tissues around the tooth, or flare-up of an abscess, or a hair-line crack in the root.
- An abscess or ongoing pain will rarely persist following root canal treatment. If this occurs the tooth will require some further treatment.
- In case discomfort persists, sometimes a surgical procedure could be required.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Getting a Root Canal Treatment in Auckland may be painful, however the painful symptoms improve once the treatment begins.

They will help you take care of your teeth post treatment by providing detailed information about post treatment care and oral hygiene to avoid any unnecessary complications in the future.Â

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal Disease is the later stages of gum disease. This is when the bacteria infection under the gums progresses deeper and affects the bone and tissue supporting the tooth.
Your gums will –
- Bleed when brushing or flossing.
- Will be red, swollen and tender.
- Bad Breath.
- The gum will be pulled away from the tooth, this is called ‘Pocketing’.
- Pus may be seen in the pockets around the tooth.
The infection damages the tissue that connects the gum to the roots of the tooth. Once the tissue has been destroyed the gum pulls away from the tooth, this forms a pocket which bacteria thrive in. If not treated, in time the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw will dissolve, making the teeth loose and eventually the teeth will fall out Periodontal disease is irreversible, but you can slow down the progression by regular visits to the Dentist and Hygienist also improving your oral hygiene at home.
