Root canal therapy involves the treatment of the nerve (called the ‘pulp) inside the tooth. The common causes associated with root canal include:
- physical trauma around the teeth
- discomfort due to large decay of the tooth or previous large fillings
- severe gum disease
- cracks
Root canal therapy can save your tooth and avoid extraction. Root canal therapy involves the removal of the tooth’s pulp, a small thread-like tissue, and is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from bone supporting the tooth’s root.
Apprehensive patients should be heartened by the fact that if necessary, root canal therapy can be carried out under sedation performed by a qualified anaesthetist in the comfort of our clinic. Our caring staff will make your root canal therapy painless, positive, and stress free.
