Root Canals

Root canal treatment (also referred to as endodontic therapy) is required when tooth decay progresses to the nerve complex of the tooth. Treatment may also be required when a deep restoration or trauma to a tooth causes nerve damage. Symptoms indicating that a tooth may need root canal treatment are sensitivity to hot/cold or sweets, pain, swelling, pain to biting or pressure.

Modern instrumentation techniques allow a root canal to be completed much more quickly and with far less discomfort than in the past. Once a tooth has had a root canal, a crown may be necessary to protect and strengthen the tooth.
