Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that can be used to both repair and save a tooth that is decayed or infected. Sometimes our tooth’s pulp or nerve tissue can become damaged, irritated, inflamed or infected due to decay. However, this can also occur as a result of trauma (e.g. a fall).
Left alone without treatment, the tooth may abscess, spread infection, and/or reach a state at which point extraction may be the only viable option left. Not to mention you’ll be in a lot of pain.
Prospect Family Dental are experts in providing this treatment, and always ensure that we provide individualised treatment that is as pain-free as possible.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Modern root canal therapy is largely painless and similar to receiving a filling. In just one, or sometimes two, appointments your root canal can be completed, leaving you pain-free and with your own natural tooth.
Saving your natural tooth with root canal therapy has many advantages including:
- Improved ability to chew
- Retain normal biting force
- Preserve your tooth’s natural appearance
- Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain
