Relieve Pain and Save Your Tooth
Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp of your tooth becomes infected or damaged, often due to deep decay, cracks or trauma. If you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, a root canal can help save your natural tooth and relieve discomfort.

Frequently asked questions
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove infected pulp from the inside of a tooth, clean the canals, and fill them to prevent further infection.
Why would I need a root canal?
Root canal therapy is needed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling.
Is a root canal painful?
Root canal treatment is typically no more painful than having a regular filling. We use local anaesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Some discomfort after the treatment is normal but temporary.
How long does a root canal take?
A root canal typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. More complex cases may require additional visits
