ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Comfortable, Effective Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy removes infection from inside a tooth while saving the natural tooth. It relieves pain and stops the infection from spreading.
Using modern techniques and equipment, we clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, then seal it to protect it from further infection.
How Root Canal Therapy Works
Each tooth has a network of canals inside, a bit like the roots and branches of a tree. During treatment we gently remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canals and fill them with a sealing material.
When it is done promptly, root canal therapy is very successful. Most treated teeth are then protected with a crown so they can last for many years.
