What is it?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics,
is need when the blood or nerve supply of the
tooth, known as the pulp, is infected through
decay or injury. During a root canal procedure,
the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of
the tooth is cleaned and sealed.

Why would I need root canal treatment?
The tooths nerves lie within the root canal and
when this gets infected, it can be extremely
painful. Without root canal treatment, the tissue
surrounding the tooth will become infected and
abscesses may form. Swelling that occurs can
spread to other areas of the face, neck or head.

How does a tooths nerve get damaged?
A tooths nerve and pulp can become irritated,
inflamed and infected due to deep decay, repeated
dental procedures on one tooth, large fillings, a
crack or chip in the tooth or trauma to the face.
