When dental decay (caries) extends into the centre or nerve of the tooth, the tooth may die. Trauma is also a common cause for a root canal treatment to be indicated.

A root canal treatment involves cleaning the space the nerve tissue used to occupy and creating a sterile seal inside the tooth therefore avoiding the need for extraction.

We have the latest technology available to aid us in completing a painless treatment process, including rotary endodontic motors ( to clean and shape the root canal system) and digital apex locators ( to establish the length on the tooth).
