Root canal treatment is essential when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected. This often occurs due to extensive decay, cracks, chips or trauma to the tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to pain, swelling and potential tooth loss.
Our dental clinic uses modern techniques to perform root canal treatments comfortably and effectively, preserving your natural tooth.
What Does a Root Canal Achieve?
Root canal treatment serves several important purposes:
- Relieves pain — Removing the infected pulp eliminates the source of discomfort.
- Prevents further infection — Cleaning and sealing the tooth stops the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or tissues.
- Saves your tooth — Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than needing an extraction.
What Happens If I Delay Treatment?
Ignoring the need for a root canal can lead to more serious complications, such as abscesses, bone loss or the eventual loss of your tooth. Delayed treatment may also result in more extensive and costly procedures later on.
