Restorative
Root Canal Therapy
When the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected — usually from a deep cavity or a crack — a root canal is what saves the tooth. Modern technique and gentle sedation make it far more comfortable than the reputation suggests.
Signs you may need one
Severe toothache, pain when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, dark discolouration of a tooth, and swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums.
What the procedure looks like
We remove the infected tissue, gently clean and disinfect the inner canals, then seal and fill the tooth with a dental composite. If the tooth was extensively decayed, your dentist may recommend a crown to strengthen it and protect against future fracture.
