Endodontics | Root Canal Treatment

Dental root canal treatment illustrated step by step.

Endodontics is the dentistry term for root canal treatment, which is usually required when the nerve of a tooth is infected or has died.

This can cause a painful abscess around the tooth. Root canal treatment is an alternative to extracting the tooth.

The nerve space is cleaned and disinfected, then filled with a rubbery material. Two or three visits are usually required and we recommend the tooth should have a crown placed on it to protect it from breaking.
