Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, root canal therapy is often the best solution to return the tooth to health. Also known as endodontic treatment, this is a specialised procedure to remove inflamed or infected tissue from the inner canals of a tooth. These narrow canals house the tooth’s “pulp”- the living parts of a tooth. During the procedure, the dentist comfortably and carefully cleans the affected canals, removes all decayed, inflamed, or infected tissue, returning the tooth to health. The canals are then sealed with an inert filling material to protect the tooth from further damage or infection. While many people feel apprehensive about root canals, our experienced team uses modern techniques and a caring approach to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
