What is root canal therapy?
Root canal treatment is required when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected because of tooth decay or injury. The infection can spread through the root canal system and could lead to an abscess which can cause extreme discomfort. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time consuming procedure and will normally require you to attend for two or more visits to ensure a successful outcome.

- Once the tooth has settled the tooth will be permanently filled and crowned
