Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment has a bit of a reputation, but in reality, it's designed to do one very important thing: get you out of pain and help save your tooth.

When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal allows us to remove the infection, protect the tooth, and keep it functioning for years to come.

After a thorough examination, we'll let you know whether root canal treatment is the best option for your tooth and your long-term oral health.

Why Would You Need a Root Canal?

Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp becomes infected—usually because of deep decay, a crack, or an injury—it can cause pain, sensitivity, swelling, or ongoing discomfort.

That's where root canal treatment comes in.

How Does It Work?

During treatment, we'll carefully:

✨ Remove the infected tissue from inside the tooth

✨ Clean and disinfect the root canals

✨ Fill and seal the space to help prevent future infection

✨ Restore the tooth so it can continue doing its job

In many cases, we'll also recommend a crown afterwards to help strengthen and protect the tooth long-term.

What to Expect

Root canal treatment is completed under local anaesthetic, so you'll be comfortable throughout your appointment.

The goal is simple: remove the infection, save the tooth, and get you back to using your tooth comfortably again.
