Root Canal Teeth

The root canal, situated inside the tooth, is the heart of the tooth.

It is the pulp running through the root canals that provides blood supply and vital nerve endings to keep the tooth healthy and strong. However, if the pulp becomes infected then this jeopardises the health and functionality of the tooth. Unfortunately, this type of infection cannot be treated with antibiotics. Therefore, a special procedure called a root canal treatment is needed to clear away the infection and restore the tooth to working order. This treatment should also help relieve any pain that a patient suffers due to the infection.

Root Canal Teeth

A root canal treatment is usually a straightforward procedure that cleans out the infected pulp and disinfects the area. This type of treatment has a very high success rate. However, if it is not effective the first time around it can be performed again. Sometimes, a patient may be referred to a Specialist Endodontist (a root canal expert). This is so they can use more advanced equipment and techniques to treat the problem.
