What is a root canal?

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. The space is then cleaned, shaped, and sealed to prevent further infection. Root canal treatment is often the best way to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. It’s a routine, highly effective procedure performed under local anaesthetic.

Do I need a root canal?

Endodontics is a dental speciality which focuses on treating issues associated with dental pulp. You may need a root canal ifyou’re experiencing persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkened tooth. These symptoms often indicate an infection or damage to the tooth’s pulp. Your dentist will confirm the diagnosis with a thorough examination and x-rays. Root canal treatment can relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve your natural tooth. To find out more, please book a consultation.
