Root Canal

Root canal treatments are carried out to remove an irreversibly damaged ‘dental pulp’ due to decay, trauma or to remove infection found at the root of the tooth.

Anaesthetics are used to numb the tooth. Prior to starting any treatment, we check to make sure that patients cannot feel a thing. The dental pulp is gently removed and disinfected to remove any debris and infection at the root of the tooth. A root canal filling is carried out to seal the tooth. In most cases, a crown is then fitted to ensure stability and strength.
