Teeth aren’t invincible. Sometimes, the living tissues that exist within a tooth can become infected.
With root canal treatment, there is the possibility of preventing this damage leading to a tooth extraction.
What can root canal treatment achieve?
- Your infected tooth can be saved.
- Any darkening of the tooth can be covered with a crown post-treatment.
- Your smile will look more natural after treatment.
- Symptoms of infection such as pain and sensitivity will subside.
- Balancing the patient’s bite.
- Curing dental decay.
- Preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
- Preventing further damage to the affected tooth.
- Preventing unnecessary tooth extraction.
- Protecting the surrounding teeth from infection and stain.
- Relieving symptoms of infection such as pain and sensitivity.
Dental infections can be picked up upon in your routine dental appointments. With early intervention, it’s possible to save your tooth with this procedure. If you have noticed symptoms such as sensitivity, pain, a change to your tooth shade, or a bad taste in your mouth, please book in to see us, as this could indicate a dental infection, which requires immediate attention.

Who performs my Root Canal Treatment?
All dentists are trained to carry out simple root canal treatment during their undergraduate dental training. Some dentists develop a special interest in endodontics and gain further training to manage the more complex cases.
An Endodontist is a Specialist that has undergone a formal training period leading to a post-graduate qualification in Endodontics.
Many general dental practitioners refer to Specialists either for advice or because the case is so complicated that it requires specialist skills for a more predictable outcome.
