Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected through tooth decay or damaged by a mouth injury.

This infection may spread through the root canal system and could eventually lead to an abscess, causing a great deal of discomfort. If root canal treatment is not carried out, the tooth may need to be taken out.

Root Canal Therapy Involves The Following:

  1. The root canal system is then filled and sealed temporarily with a temporary filling.
  2. The tooth is checked at a later visit, and when all the infections have cleared, it is permanently restored with a crown.
  3. The root canal system will be thoroughly cleaned to remove all infection and pulp.
  4. The root canal system is then filled and sealed temporarily with a crown.
  5. The tooth is checked at a later visit, and when all the infections have cleared, it is permanently filled.

Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure; most treatments involve one or two visits.

Life Benefits

  • Preservation of remaining healthy tooth structure.
  • Prevention of infection spreading any further.
  • Restoration of the tooth to its natural look and feel.
