About Root Canal Treatment
When decay or a crack reaches the nerve, the tooth gets infected and aches — and the old instinct was to pull it out. Root canal treatment saves it instead: we clean out the infection, seal the canal, and keep your own tooth in place.
What’s involved
The procedure has a fearsome reputation it no longer deserves. With modern anaesthesia and technique it’s usually no worse than a deep filling, and it ends the pain rather than causing it. Most cases are done in one or two comfortable visits.
We almost always finish a root-canalled tooth with a crown to protect it, since the tooth becomes more brittle. Keeping your natural tooth is nearly always better — and often cheaper long-term — than replacing it.
