A toothache doesn’t have to mean losing a tooth.

With modern techniques and a focus on comfort, you’re in safe hands with our Sunshine Coast dentists.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The inner pulp is removed, the space is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown. This process allows you to keep your natural tooth while relieving pain. Our Nambour root canal dentists use gentle techniques and modern tools for a smooth experience.
How Do I Know If I Need Root Canal Treatment?
Severe or lingering toothache, sensitivity to heat, swelling, or a darkened tooth may all indicate the need for root canal therapy. Sometimes, an infected tooth causes no pain but still requires treatment. If you suspect a problem or your dentist has mentioned deep decay or trauma, we’ll carefully assess whether a root canal is necessary to save the tooth.

At Blackall Terrace Dental, your trusted dentist in Nambour, root canal treatment is performed with precision and care to relieve pain and save natural teeth. The process begins with a detailed consultation and imaging, such as an X-ray, to assess the affected tooth and confirm whether a root canal is the most appropriate solution.
Once treatment is confirmed, we gently numb the area using local anaesthetic to ensure your complete comfort. We then remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and carefully clean and disinfect the root canals using fine instruments.
After the canals are thoroughly prepared, we fill them with a special biocompatible material and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. In many cases, we will place a temporary filling or crown, with a follow-up appointment scheduled for the permanent restoration.
At your return visit, we fit and bond a custom-made dental crown to protect and strengthen the treated tooth. This final step restores function and appearance while helping prevent future issues.
Throughout your root canal journey, we’ll keep you informed and supported. With good oral hygiene and regular visits to your Sunshine Coast dentist, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years to come.
