Root Canal Treatments

Our primary concern as dentists is to preserve your natural teeth, keeping them as healthy and strong as possible. If you have a dental cavity which starts to cause a toothache, the bacteria has reached the pulp cavity and you may need to have root canal treatment to save the tooth.

In serious cases, the tooth may have to be extracted. Because of this, it’s best to visit a dentist regularly even if you don’t have any dental complaints. They can spot a cavity in the early stages when it is much easier to treat.

If you need a root canal, you may notice these signs:

• Sensitive Teeth – especially sensitivity which lingers
• Sharp pain when chewing or biting
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Swollen or painful gums
