ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Root canal treatment is needed when the nerve or blood supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through injury or decay.

The infection can spread through the root canal system of the tooth and eventually the tooth may need to be taken out. To avoid this, the pulp can be removed, the root canal cleaned and sealed off to protect it.

Unlike in the past when this resulted in discolouration, with modern technology and materials the teeth will preserve their natural appearance.
