Root canal treatment may be necessary when the central nerve of a tooth becomes exposed or infected.

Sensitivity, swelling, discolouration and tooth pain may be signs that a tooth nerve has become inflamed or infected.  If a root nerve is untreated, it can cause significant discomfort and may lead to complications such as an abscess.

What is root canal treatment?

A root canal is an effective treatment that removes the tooth nerve or dental pulp that has become infected or inflamed.

The central nerve may have become exposed from deep tooth decay, cracked or chipped teeth or dislodged fillings or crowns from previous dental procedures.

Your dentist will use a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth during the procedure. Having extracted the nerve and dental tissue, the root canal of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. A filling or crown will then be used to restore and strengthen the tooth.
