Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (endodontic treatment) offers patients an alternative to extraction so that the damaged tooth can be preserved.  This procedure is recommended when the nerve inside the tooth becomes infected or develops an abscess.  In order to relieve pain and prevent further infection from the damaged tooth, the infected pulp is removed from the centre of a tooth, and the root canals are then cleaned and filled. Often RCT requires several visits to the clinic, especially so for back teeth which have more canals and are harder to reach.
