Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is suggested when the nerve (pulp) inside a tooth is infected or exposed due to advanced decay or injury. An untreated infection can develop into an abscess inside the tooth or in the surrounding bone, causing severe pain.

Common signs that a tooth needs a root canal include pain or pressure, sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening colour, increasing tenderness, sleep-disrupting pain, and throbbing pain not relieved by over-the-counter medication.

There are many myths about root canal therapy, the biggest is that it's painful. In reality, the procedure is performed to relieve pain and discomfort. Our team pays close attention to your comfort throughout, making adjustments along the way.

Saving your natural tooth is always our priority. In some cases extraction is unavoidable, and we'll talk you through your options before making any decision.
