Root Canal Treatment
Treating infection inside a tooth so the tooth itself can be kept.
Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans the space and seals it, so the tooth can be kept rather than removed.
It is usually done under local anaesthetic. Modern treatment is not the ordeal its reputation suggests, though it can take more than one visit.
A tooth treated this way often needs a crown afterwards to protect it.
