Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

Save a badly infected tooth and relieve the pain — comfortably.

Root canal treatment removes infection from inside the tooth, seals the canals and lets you keep a tooth that would otherwise be lost.

When it's needed

Deep decay, trauma or a cracked tooth can allow bacteria into the nerve, causing pain, swelling or an abscess.

Under local anaesthetic, the infected tissue is removed, canals are cleaned and shaped, then sealed. Most cases are completed in one or two visits.

With magnification, rotary instruments and effective anaesthetic, root canal treatment feels much like having a filling.

Root-treated back teeth are usually crowned to prevent fracture.
