Root Canal Treatments

Root canal therapy is treatment to resolve the infection in a tooth. This allows patients the option to retain their teeth instead of extractions. It is always best to maintain your natural dentition where possible. Local anaesthetic is used to achieve a painless procedure despite common misconceptions. We always endeavour to make each visit pleasant and stress-free.

Do I need root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment involves accessing and removing the infected or damaged nerves inside a tooth to resolve an abscess or infection.

Symptoms where root canal treatment may be indicated include:

> A noticeable abscess along the gums

> Past trauma to teeth, such as a car accident, sports injury

> Large area of tooth decay

> Toothache

> Facial swelling

In the most severe cases, untreated dental abscesses can be life threatening resulting in hospitalisation. Please attend to any suspected dental infections as soon as possible.
