Root canal therapy is usually the treatment of choice for saving teeth that have been infected or damaged at the root of the tooth. Dental pain and discomfort over a long period of time is a common telling sign of a tooth that may need root canal therapy and after an assessment we will carefully identify whether it is the best treatment option for you.

Root canal therapy can take place over two appointments. The first appointment usually focuses of cleaning and disinfecting the inside of your tooth. The second part usually involves restoring or filling the inside of the tooth from top to bottom.

Teeth that have undergone this procedure are usually covered by a crown or onlay  which helps to ensure that the root of the tooth stays protected.
