The Experience

When is a root canal needed?

A root canal becomes necessary when decay progresses to the interior of a tooth, infecting the dental pulp and causing severe swelling and pain.

Treatment Process

What happens during root canal treatment.

Examination and anaesthetic

X-rays confirm the extent of infection, then local anaesthetic is administered — most patients are surprised at how straightforward and pain-free the experience is.

Removing the infection

The infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected to eliminate the source of pain.

Sealing the tooth and fitting a crown

The canals are permanently sealed and a final restoration placed — a crown is often recommended afterward, as root canal treatment can leave the tooth more brittle over time.
