Root canal treatment is a straightforward way to remove infection from inside a tooth, relieving pain and helping preserve your natural smile.
When the nerve or pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment offers a safe and effective solution to remove the infection while keeping the tooth in place.
At Toome Dental, we understand that needing a root canal can sound daunting—but the procedure is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. Modern techniques and local anaesthetic mean most patients find the treatment no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
During your visit, we’ll carefully clean out the infected tissue, disinfect the root canals, and seal the space to prevent further problems. We often recommend placing a crown afterwards to protect the tooth and restore full strength and function.
With proper care, a tooth that’s had a root canal can last as long as your other natural teeth.
