Root Canal Treatment in La Zenia
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT ROOT CANAL TREATMENT CAN HELP ELIMINATE INFECTION, RELIEVE DISCOMFORT AND PRESERVE YOUR NATURAL TOOTH WHEN ITS CLINICAL CONDITION ALLOWS.
Treat The Cause, Preserve The Tooth
Preserving Your Natural Tooth Whenever Possible
At Zenia Dental Center, our priority is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. When deep decay, a fracture or infection affects the inside of a tooth, root canal treatment can remove the affected tissue, disinfect the tooth and allow it to remain in place.
Recognising The Signs
How Do I Know If I Need Root Canal Treatment?
Some symptoms that may indicate a problem inside the tooth include:
Persistent or spontaneous toothache
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Pain when biting or chewing
Swelling around the tooth
Tooth discolouration
Infection around the root
Not every tooth requiring treatment causes pain. A clinical examination and appropriate X-rays are essential to determine the cause and the right treatment.
What Does Root Canal Treatment Involve?
Treating The Problem From The Inside
During root canal treatment, we:
1. Access — Open the tooth to reach the affected tissue.
2. Remove — Remove the damaged pulp.
3. Clean — Carefully clean and disinfect the root canals.
4. Seal — Seal the canals to help prevent further infection.
5. Restore — Restore the tooth so it can function normally.
Depending on the complexity of your case, treatment may require one or more appointments.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Comfortable Treatment Under Local Anaesthetic
Root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthetic to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Some temporary tenderness or sensitivity may occur afterwards, particularly when biting, but this usually settles gradually over the following days.

What Happens After Treatment?
Protecting Your Tooth For The Long Term
After root canal treatment, the tooth may need an appropriate restoration depending on how much natural structure remains.
This could be a filling or, when clinically appropriate, a dental crown to help protect the tooth and reduce the risk of future fracture.
The Right Diagnosis Comes First
Understanding The Tooth Before Treatment
Before recommending root canal treatment, we assess the tooth through a clinical examination and appropriate dental X-rays.
We evaluate the damage, root anatomy, infection, surrounding bone and the amount of tooth structure that can be preserved.
This helps us determine whether root canal treatment is the most appropriate option.
