Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected tissue inside a tooth. The aim is to treat the infection while retaining the tooth where possible.

Your dentist examines the tooth and explains whether root canal treatment, specialist review or another approach is appropriate. Discuss your symptoms directly with the clinic.

The dentist accesses the tooth, removes infected tissue, cleans and shapes the canals, then fills and seals them. Treatment may involve multiple appointments.

A temporary filling may be used between appointments. A final filling or crown may be needed. Follow the clinician’s care instructions and review schedule.

Confirm whether the quote includes the final restoration, any specialist work and reviews. Agree who to contact if questions arise between appointments.

Ask how many appointments may be needed, whether the tooth needs a filling or crown afterwards, and how the result will be reviewed.
