The words “root canal” can sound daunting. Understanding the treatment can help. 🦷💙
This World Endodontic Day, we’re shining a light on a treatment that can help save a natural tooth.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. The inside is then cleaned, filled and sealed to help prevent further infection.
Local anaesthetic is normally used, and your dentist will explain what to expect and answer your questions.
If you’re worried about a painful tooth or have been advised you may need root canal treatment, speak to the team at Lighthouse Dental Practice. We’re here to help you understand your options.
