Save Your Natural Tooth!
Relieve Pain. Restore Health.
Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a safe and effective way to treat an infected or damaged tooth while preserving your natural tooth. Our gentle approach is designed to remove infection, relieve discomfort and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Key Benefits:
- To preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
- To treat the source of dental pain and infection.
- To remove infected tissue and seal the root canals to help prevent reinfection.
- To protect and restore the tooth so you can smile and chew comfortably again.
Understanding Root Canal Treatment
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, Root Canal treatment can remove the infection while allowing the natural tooth to remain in place.
During treatment, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed. Where required, a dental crown can then be placed to provide additional protection, strength and long-term function.
The aim is simple: preserve your natural tooth whenever clinically possible.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Not every infected tooth causes obvious symptoms. However, some common warning signs include:
- Persistent or severe toothache
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- A recurring pimple or abscess on the gum
- Increased sensitivity around a previously treated tooth
If you experience any of these symptoms, an early dental examination can help prevent the problem from becoming more serious.
