Root canal treatment is used to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged within its inner pulp. Without treatment, infection can spread and may result in severe pain or tooth loss. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. This allows the natural tooth to be preserved.
Modern root canal treatment is highly effective and far more comfortable than many patients expect. Advanced techniques and local anaesthetic ensure the procedure is carried out with minimal discomfort. Preserving the natural tooth helps maintain normal biting and chewing function and prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting. Root canal treatment provides long-term relief from pain while protecting your natural smile.
