At Core Dental Caroline Springs, our experienced and compassionate team makes the procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We use the latest technology - including 3D CBCT imaging and digital X-rays - to plan and deliver precise, effective treatment for even the most complex cases.\n\n### What Is Root Canal Treatment?\n\nRoot canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is the most effective way to save a tooth that has become infected or severely inflamed at its core. Inside every tooth is a pulp chamber containing nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach this pulp through deep decay, a fracture, or trauma, the result is often significant pain and, if untreated, a dental abscess.\n\nRoot canal treatment removes the source of infection, cleans the tooth's internal canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. With a dental crown placed afterwards, a root-canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.\n\n### When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?\n\nYou may need root canal treatment if you notice:\n\n- A severe or persistent toothache, especially when eating or applying pressure\n- Sensitivity to heat or cold that does not quickly resolve\n- Swelling of the gum, jaw, or face around the affected tooth\n- Tooth discolouration (darkening)\n- A recurring spot or pimple on the gum\n- Pain that wakes you at night\n\nSometimes a tooth can be infected without causing obvious pain - particularly in cases of chronic low-grade infection. The advanced 3D CBCT imaging available exclusively at Core Dental Caroline Springs allows us to identify infections with exceptional accuracy and plan treatment precisely.\n\n### Root Canal Treatment at Caroline Springs - What to Expect\n\nOur team performs root canal treatment under local anaesthetic. You will be numb and comfortable throughout the procedure.\n\n**Step-by-step:**\n\n1. **Diagnosis and imaging** - Digital X-rays and, where needed, CBCT 3D scanning assess the tooth and surrounding structures\n2. **Local anaesthetic** - The area is thoroughly numbed\n3. **Pulp chamber access** - A small opening is made to access the internal canals\n4. **Pulp removal and canal cleaning** - Infected tissue is removed; canals are meticulously cleaned, shaped, and disinfected\n5. **Canal filling** - The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling material\n6. **Crown placement** - A dental crown protects the treated tooth and restores full bite function\n\nTreatment generally takes one to three appointments.\n\n### Complex Cases: Specialist Endodontist Available\n\nFor particularly complex root canal cases - including severely curved canals, re-treatment of previous root canal work, or extensive infections - Core Dental refers patients to specialist endodontists at the Collins Street Specialist Centre. Dr Greg Tilley (BDSc, FRACDS, MRACDS Endo), with over 35 years of specialist endodontic experience, is available to Core Dental patients via referral. We will coordinate this seamlessly for you.\n\n### Our Multilingual Team\n\nCore Dental Caroline Springs is Melbourne's most multilingual dental practice. Our team includes clinicians who speak English, Arabic (Dr Sherin Gad), Bengali (Dr Anika Moyeed), and Farsi (Dr Shakiba Askary). We also have a specialist paediatric dentist, a specialist orthodontist, a dental prosthetist, and a dental hygienist on-site.\n\n### Book at Core Dental Caroline Springs\n\nFind us at CS Square, with free on-site parking.
