Care for an affected tooth, with the aim of keeping it in place.
When it is recommended
Root canal treatment addresses infection or disease affecting the dental pulp. Your dentist assesses the affected tooth to establish whether treatment is indicated and how it fits into the care plan.
Preserving a natural tooth
The aim is to address infection and preserve the tooth when possible. The procedure uses anaesthesia. Case complexity determines the duration, and patient comfort is considered throughout treatment.
Restoration and care
After root canal treatment, a crown may be needed to restore the tooth. Your dentist explains the recommended solution, when to resume regular eating and the care required. Maintaining the tooth also depends on subsequent care.
