Root canals are a treatment used to repair and save teeth that have become infected or decayed. If the tooth is not treated, the surrounding tissue may also become infected and abscesses may form. Root canal procedures consist of removing the nerve and pulp, cleaning inside the tooth, and resealing it.
The nerves in your teeth are not important to health nor function once the tooth has fully emerged from the gums. The only thing it does is tell you whether your tooth is hot or cold. Whether your tooth has its nerves or not, you won’t see any significant difference in your everyday life.
If you’ve started avoiding chewing on one side of your mouth because of a toothache or a tooth that is extra sensitive to hot or cold, a root canal may be necessary. Pain, whether from pressure, hot/cold sensitivity, or for no apparent cause, could be a sign of a serious infection. To schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Yap, contact his office today!

Caring for Tooth Pain
Teeth that need root canals are often associated with extensive decay or other forms of weakness. Due to this, a crown, post, or other restoration might need to be placed on the affected tooth to strengthen it and reduce the chances of it breaking.
After the first few days, your tooth might feel sensitive due to natural inflammation in surrounding tissues. Pain is more likely if an infection was present prior to the procedure. This pain can be alleviated through the use of over-the-counter pain medications such as Aspirin or other similar drugs.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A great looking smile can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. Dr. Yap has extensive training and experience in the art of cosmetic dentistry and can create a personalised treatment plan to give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile you’ll love. In cases where a single cosmetic procedure will not create the results you desire, he can combine numerous procedures and give you a personal smile makeover plan. These services include:
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires and brackets using a series of clear, customised, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know you’re straightening your teeth. Whether you have a crossbite, overbite, underbite, or issues with the spacing of your teeth, schedule a FREE Smile Assessment with Dr. Yap and find out how Invisalign can straighten your teeth at a price you can afford.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth may lead to an unsightly smile, lack confidence and the avoidance of many types of foods. Traditionally, the only treatment options to replace missing teeth were dentures or bridges. Today, many patients turn to dental implants to replace missing teeth*. With its proven track record, you can feel confident in making the move to replace troublesome dentures with a lasting solution, a stronger bite, and a beautiful smile. Whether you need a single implant or several implants, Dr. Yap can help.
General Dentistry
Dr. Yap offers dental care for the whole family by providing a wide range of general, emergency and restorative dental services. As your primary dental care provider, he can manage all your oral health needs to ensure your teeth and gums are properly cared for. If you have been avoiding the dentist out of fear or anxiety, Dr. Yap offers sedation dentistry options that can help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
