Root Canal Treatment

Endodontic (also known as Root canal treatment) is the removal of the tooth’s pulp, a small, thread-like tissue in the centre of the tooth.

Once the damaged, diseased or dead pulp is removed, the remaining space is cleaned, shaped and filled. This procedure seals off the root canal.

Damage to the pulp may be caused by untreated dental decay, decay beneath a filling, tooth damage due to trauma, tooth grinding (bruxism) or gum disease.

To determine if Root Canal Therapy is required an x-ray may be taken at your initial consultation and from here a series of appointments will be scheduled for your treatment.

Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps were removed. Today, root canal treatment saves many teeth that would otherwise be lost.
