What is root canal treatment?

for painful, damaged or infected teeth

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a highly effective dental procedure designed to treat infection within, or close to, the centre of a tooth. It involves removing the infected or inflamed tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the space to prevent future infection.

This treatment helps to save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

Why you might need root canal treatment

Root canal treatment may be recommended if you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity as a result of:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
  • A dental abscess

Left untreated, infections can spread, eventually leading to tooth loss. Root canal treatment removes the source of the infection and helps to preserve your original tooth structure.
