What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal saves a badly decayed or infected tooth that would otherwise need extraction. Using modern rotary instruments, apex locators and effective anaesthesia, we clean and seal the inside of the tooth, usually in just one or two comfortable visits.
Today's root canal is no more uncomfortable than a filling. Most patients feel immediate relief from the toothache that brought them in.
