Treatment to save an infected or badly damaged tooth.
Book This ServiceRoot canal treatment saves a tooth whose pulp, the soft tissue with the nerve inside, has become infected or badly inflamed. The dentist removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals inside the root and seals them.
Without treatment, an infected tooth can cause severe pain and an abscess. Root canal treatment can relieve that pain and let you keep your natural tooth instead of having it removed.
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic, so the treatment itself should feel much like having a filling. The pain people associate with root canals usually comes from the infection that the treatment relieves.
Keeping your natural tooth is generally best when it can be saved, as it keeps your bite balanced and avoids the need for a replacement. If the tooth cannot be saved, your dentist will discuss extraction and replacement options.
