Root Canal Treatment

Replacing a tooth’s damaged or infected pulp with a root filling

Root Canal Treatment Labrador

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a specialised treatment used to repair the inside of a tooth.

The ultimate aim of a root canal treatment is to save a tooth that has been corrosively damaged due to ongoing decay, injury, or dental disease.

What does a root canal involve?

To begin the treatment, your dentist will use a special dental instrument known as a file to remove inflamed and infected nerve tissue. We will then apply anti-bacterial or anti-inflammatory medications to the inside of the tooth.

This will help stop and prevent further inflammation and risk of infection.

Our highly skilled dentists at Dentists@Labrador employ the latest technology and training techniques in endodontic dentistry. The use of rotary nickel-titanium generally ensures the most effective and pain-free procedure in a root canal treatment.

A follow-up crown treatment is usually required and these are best performed soon after the initial root canal treatment.
