A root canal is performed in order to save a tooth when the dental pulp or nerve centre has become infected or has died. For Ashgrove patients, it avoids the need to remove the tooth entirely, making it a more appealing option. It is quite a simple and painless treatment, and it’s designed to retain as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Infection usually occurs due to decay or a fractured tooth that may cause significant pain. If left untreated, the infection will lead to a dental abscess, as well as swelling and infection of the jawbone which can be even more painful. Our highly trained team use 3D X-ray imaging to successfully diagnose if root canal treatment Ashgrove is required.
