Root Canal Therapy

A root canal therapy is usually recommended when the tooth surface is healthy, but its root or pulp is damaged/infected. If this is the case, you might be experiencing some or all these symptoms:

Acute and intense pain
Sharp pain when biting down
Lingering pain after eating hot or cold food
Dull ache and pressure
Tenderness and swelling in the surrounding gum

During a root canal therapy, the pulp of your tooth, which consists of connective tissues, nerves and blood vessels, is completely removed. The ‘canal’ is then cleaned out, filled and sealed again to preserve the inner and the outer structure of the tooth to prevent any inflammation from recurring.

If you’re experiencing any of the above-mentioned symptoms, call our office to book an appointment now! We’d love to help alleviate your pain and bring your teeth back to a healthy state.
