Root Canal Treatments
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. Rather than removing the tooth, root canal treatment eliminates the infection from inside the tooth, relieves pain, and restores its strength and function, allowing you to keep your natural smile.
Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is carried out using advanced techniques and local anaesthetic, making the procedure no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling. Our priority is to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment.


When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal treatment may be recommended if the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed due to:
-
- Deep tooth decay.
- A cracked or fractured tooth.
- Trauma or injury to the tooth.
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth.
- A dental abscess or infection.
Common symptoms include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness when biting, or darkening of the tooth. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all, which is why regular dental check-ups are so important.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a thorough examination, and digital X-rays may be taken to assess the affected tooth. After numbing the area with a local anaesthetic, the infected tissue is carefully removed from inside the tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after root canal treatment to protect and strengthen the tooth, helping to restore its appearance and function for the long term.
