Saving your teeth is important. Root canal therapy treats and prevents dangerous infections that can lead to the loss of a tooth. This allows you to keep the tooth rather than have it removed.
How does root canal treatment work?
Infection can spread to the inner tissue of a tooth. This tissue, called the pulp, can be vulnerable if the tooth is damaged by decay or injury. To treat the infection and save the tooth we remove the pulp and disinfect the tooth. Then the tooth can be restored with a dental crown.
Aren’t root canals painful?
Root canal treatments are done under local anesthetic so the procedure is painless and similar to having a tooth filled.
A severe toothache can indicate an infected tooth. Book a dental examination with us today.
