Root Canal Treatment After Dental Trauma
Injuries such as cracks, fractures or impact can damage the nerve inside the tooth. When this occurs, our Root Canal Therapy after Dental Trauma can stabilise the tooth, remove infection and prevent long-term complications.
Dental Trauma Brisbane - Broken, Chipped or Cracked Tooth?
If you are dealing with a broken tooth in Brisbane, a chipped edge, or a painful cracked tooth, early assessment is critical. Even minor fractures can worsen quickly and lead to nerve infection. Our team at EasyCare Family Dental, a trusted dentist in East Brisbane, provides calm and structured assessment for dental trauma cases across Brisbane.
If pain is severe or swelling develops, immediate emergency dental care may be required. Minor fractures can often be stabilised with tooth-coloured fillings, while deeper cracks frequently need a dental crown to prevent splitting. If the nerve is infected, a root canal treatment may be necessary to save the tooth and prevent extraction.
EasyCare Family Dental is located at Suite 103 / 33 Lytton Rd, East Brisbane QLD 4169, directly above Seasons IGA with free undercover parking.
