Root Canal Treatment

Indications

A Root Canal Treatment is needed when a tooth’s nerve and associated blood vessels are irreversibly damaged. For example :
  • Tooth damaged by trauma.
  • A fractured tooth.
  • Deep cavity that has infected the nerve. The end result is the same – an infection that leads to an abscess at the base of the tooth.

Signs And Symptoms

  • Throbbing pain in the tooth (especially noticeable when lying horizontal, i.e. in bed at night).
  • There may also be a swelling in your jaw.
  • The tooth may be painful to chew on.
  • Pain on consuming hot and/or cold foods.
  • Teeth that are severely worn out.
