Root canal or endodontic treatment is a process whereby inflamed or dead pulp is removed from the inside of the tooth, enabling a tooth that was causing pain to be retained. Once a tooth has been root canal treated it can remain in service for many years. All root filled teeth require crowns after treatment for additional strength. Front teeth that have had root canal treatment will often discolour and require crowns for aesthetics.
Root canal treatment is often avoided from fear of pain. Many patients have heard that this treatment is painful and problematic. we can assure you that any root canal treatment performed at Shailer Park Dental is pain free, safe and long lasting as long as a crown is placed after. Root canal treatment is highly effective and long lasting.
