When a Root Canal May Be Needed
You may need treatment if you experience:
Pain when chewing or biting
Ongoing or throbbing toothache
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness around the tooth or gums
What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy
We make the procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible:
Exam & X-Rays – A full assessment and X-rays help us locate the infection and plan treatment.
Local Anaesthetic – The tooth is completely numbed; most patients say it feels similar to a standard filling.
Cleaning the Tooth – The damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned to eliminate bacteria.
Sealing & Restoration – The tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection. A crown or porcelain filling may be recommended to restore strength and function.
