Root Canalremoving tooth infection while preserving your natural tooth.
At the centre of every tooth is a pulp which contains the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, tooth fracture or trauma can allow bacteria to invade the pulp causing it to become inflamed and eventually die. Not only is this extremely painful but infection in the pulp can damage surrounding bone, forming abscesses and even spread to the rest of the body. Root Canal Treatment is a method of removing this infection while preserving your natural tooth and avoiding an extraction. At Epping Dental Centre, we use the latest rotary endodontic equipment to remove the infected pulp relieving your pain safely and effectively and preserving your natural tooth.
Root canal therapy is usually completed in 2-3 visits, and it is strongly recommended that a crown is placed following completion. This protects the tooth from breakage in the long term.
