Commonly known as Root Canal Treatment, this is one of the most common dental procedures people know of. Times are changing and technology is making these treatments better, stronger and faster. This makes the idea of a root canal a lot less scary than it once was, and a lot more comfortable.

Today, Root Canal can be performed painlessly, with little time in the chair and minimum discomfort with greater levels of success.

You may need root canal if you have:

A breakdown of a filling or crown
A deep cavity
Trauma happen to a tooth
Gum diseases
Cracks or chips in a tooth
Extensive previous dental work

Symptoms your tooth might require a root canal:

Pain
Sensitivity to heat or cold
Tooth deterioration
Swelling or soreness in the gums surrounding the tooth

How it works

During the first appointment we will assess the tooth and take an x-ray to see what’s happening under the surface. We will make sure a root canal is the best treatment for that tooth and discuss your options with you.

When we start, a local anaesthetic is given and isolation for the tooth is placed. The dentist will reach the nerve using fine instruments and will clean the canals to remove all bacteria. An antibiotic is placed into the canals. During the second appointment the canals are cleaned again and a special filling material is placed to finish the root canal.
