Root Canal Therapy
What is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to remove infection from inside a tooth. When a tooth’s pulp (nerve) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal can preserve the tooth and prevent further damage.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
- Severe tooth pain when eating or drinking
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- A pimple-like bump on the gums
- Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
- Pain when chewing or applying pressure

A root canal typically takes 1-2 visits, depending on the severity of the infection.
How long does a root canal last?
