A root canal treatment is used to repair the damaged inside of a tooth. It is also called endodontic treatment.
A root canal treatment can save a badly infected or damaged tooth. The tooth may have become infected or damaged by deep decay, wear and tear, gum disease or an injury to the tooth.
Saving your own tooth if possible is important. Our clinician would meticulously clean, sterilise and fill the pulp and canals of the tooth. This is a multiple appointment procedure.
To ensure the integrity of the tooth, capping with a crown is often highly recommended to ensure the longevity and functionality of the tooth.
