What is a root canal?

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to repair and save a badly infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected tissue (pulp) within the tooth, cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This helps alleviate pain and allows the tooth to function normally again.

The procedure has a common misconception that it can be uncomfortable. Through utilisation of modern techniques we have found most patients experience the opposite of this, with many falling asleep during the procedure! zzzzzzzzz

By talking everything through and by initially taking little steps, we are confident we can provide comfortable treatment even where you may have a history of dental anxiety.
