About
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a reliable solution for saving teeth that are severely damaged or infected. It is a dental procedure designed to remove an infected or damaged nerve, relieving pain and preserving a tooth that may otherwise be extracted. During your consultation, our dentists will thoroughly evaluate your condition and explain the process. Once root canal treatment is complete, the tooth is often restored with a crown to ensure its strength and functionality.

FAQ
Root canal procedures have a reputation for being painful, but with modern techniques and anaesthesia, most people experience little to no pain. You may feel some discomfort or mild soreness after the procedure, which is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, and darkening of the tooth. Sometimes, there may be no symptoms, so regular dental check-ups are important.
You might need a root canal if the nerve inside your tooth, becomes infected or damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, a crack in the tooth, or trauma to the tooth. A root canal saves your tooth by removing the damaged or infected nerve.
