Root canal therapy (also known as endodontic treatment) is a procedure performed on an infected tooth that needs to be salvaged to avoid extraction.

You may require a root canal in cases when decay has reached an advanced stage or when you have sustained a serious crack to your tooth. Teeth requiring a root canal can often not present any symptoms, which is why preventative dentistry is so important. Tooth sensitivity and changes to the colour of your tooth are both common symptoms.

What to expect from treatment

Treatment is necessary when your dental pulp, the tissues within your tooth, become infected. Your dentist here at 112 Dental will treat the tooth by filling the canal chambers of the tooth in question with a special sealant to block bacteria entering, which will cease any further infection. Following this, we can use a filling or crown to cover your tooth, giving it back its function and aesthetic.

The benefits of having a root canal

  • Save your tooth from extraction.
  • You will not need a dental implant, bridge or denture.
  • Your teeth will be pain and sensitivity-free.
  • Stop any infection reaching neighbouring teeth.
  • The 112 Dental team understand a root canal can be an intimidating procedure – we will support you and address any anxieties you share with us with compassion and patience.
