Root Canal Treatment
Also known as endodontics, a root canal treatment is performed to replace the infected or damaged nerve of a tooth which may have been caused by severe decay, tooth grinding or trauma.
Over several visits, the tooth’s nerve is removed, the root canal cleaned, shaped, sterilised and filled. It is usually advisable to have a crown placed over the top of the treated tooth although in some circumstances a filling may be used.
