Root canal treatment involves:
In some cases, a crown may be recommended afterwards to help protect and strengthen the tooth.
Modern root canal treatment is typically performed using local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
For many patients, the treatment relieves pain caused by infection rather than causing it.
Whenever possible, preserving a natural tooth is often the preferred option.
Root canal treatment can help maintain normal chewing function, preserve surrounding teeth and avoid the need for extraction.
