Root canal treatment is a dental procedure performed when the innermost part of the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes badly decayed or infected. If left untreated, the tooth will begin to die, which could eventually lead to tooth loss. To save the tooth, the infected pulp is removed to prevent an abscess formation. 

During root canal treatment, our highly skilled dentists will remove the damaged pulp from within the root canal before sealing it off to prevent further infection. The root canal procedure can be completed in one or two visits to the dentist, depending on how complicated it is. Once root canal treatment is completed, it is essential to have a crown or filling placed on top of the tooth to protect it from breaking. 

Root canal treatment can be daunting for many people, but it is essential to remember that it is a routine procedure we carry out daily. With modern techniques and anaesthetics, root canal treatment is relatively painless and will help you keep your natural tooth for many years.
