Root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) can save a tooth that’s been damaged by decay, trauma, or injury. During the procedure, the infected nerve inside the tooth is gently cleaned out, disinfected, and sealed to prevent the infection from coming back. Don’t worry — your tooth will be completely numb the whole time, so it’s a comfortable experience.
Root canal treatment is usually done over two appointments, and we often recommend placing a crown afterwards to strengthen and protect the tooth long-term.
While we can complete many root canal treatments right here at Tooth Dental, some teeth are best referred to a trusted endodontist (a root canal specialist). Endodontists have advanced training and use specialised equipment — including high-powered microscopes — that allow them to see even the tiniest or hidden canals inside the tooth. This extra level of precision helps ensure the best long-term result for your tooth.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, our friendly team can assess your tooth and guide you through the best treatment options to keep your smile healthy and comfortable.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Certain cases may be referred to a specialist for assessment or treatment to support optimal outcomes and long-term oral health
