Root canal treatment is as effective for pain relief as tooth extraction, with the greatest benefit of saving the natural tooth. The treatment usually takes 1 visit except in severe infection cases. A properly treated tooth will remain as healthy as the rest of the teeth with a proper oral hygiene routine.

Root canal treatment involves removing the centre part of the tooth called pulp. A root canal is usually performed when the decay is so deep into the tooth that it touches the pulp. Root canal treatment is also effective for advanced gum disease and teeth damaged by trauma.

Symptoms for root canal problems include:

1. Spontaneous pain
2. Sensitive to cold/hot food and beverages
3. Pain when chewing/biting
4. Swelling or oozing of gum

We will make you comfortable throughout your treatment. A local anesthetic will be used to ensure you don’t feel any pain or discomfort around the affected area during the procedure.
