Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment
in Hurstville.
Assessment and treatment options for an inflamed or infected tooth, with a focus on preserving it where possible.
Give a tooth a chance to be retained
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. It involves cleaning and treating the inside of the tooth before it is sealed and restored. At uSmile Dental, we assess the problem and explain whether root canal treatment is an appropriate way to retain your tooth.
What we can discuss
- Assessment of symptoms and the affected tooth
- Discussion of root canal treatment and alternatives
- Planning the final restoration of the tooth
- Follow-up to review healing and tooth function
Making an informed choice
Treatment may take more than one visit and a crown or other restoration may be recommended afterwards. Root canal treatment does not guarantee that a tooth can be saved; persistent infection, fracture or the need for retreatment or referral are possible.
What to expect
One step at a time.

Your clinician explains the planned treatment stages and pain-control options.

talked through.
Does a toothache always mean I need a root canal?
No. Tooth pain has different causes, so a dental assessment is needed before choosing treatment.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Some root-treated teeth benefit from a crown or other protective restoration. Your dentist will explain what is recommended for your tooth.
