Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment also known as Endodontics, is the dental speciality concerned with treating problems with the dental pulp and its supporting structures. It involves removing infected pulp to help save a tooth from extraction and is a more economical option than replacing it.
Though many practitioners carry out root canal therapy, specialists have extensive training in the procedure that means they can tackle more complex cases and they have higher success rates. Teeth can often have concealed or difficult to treat roots, which can only be remedied with specialised equipment, expert knowledge and relevant experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
The pulp is the innermost part of a tooth and consists of soft tissue, nerves and blood vessels. You may need root canal treatment if this pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to bacteria getting into deep cavities, cracks or extensive fillings. If an infection is left untreated, it can lead to pain and the formation of an abscess.
No, you can contact us directly. Also, if your dentist thinks you could benefit from this kind of treatment, you can also ask to be referred to us.
Many practitioners carry out root canal therapy but have reduced success rates compared to specialists. Unfortunately, there are less than 200 specialists registered in endodontics in the country and most are in private practice.
Root canal therapy is often considered to be a painful procedure, but it should be no more uncomfortable than having a normal filling and it is designed to relieve any pain you may be experiencing from pulp inflammation or infection.
When a root canal treated tooth has been fully restored, you will just need to practise good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, and see your dentist for check-ups.
A treated tooth can potentially last a lifetime. Even though the pulp has been removed, the tooth remains functional as it is kept adequately supported by the surrounding tissue.
