Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (the pulp) is infected through decay or injury. If the pulp becomes infected, the infection may spread through the root canal system of the tooth, this may eventually lead to an abscess, which can be very painful. The aim of the treatment is to remove all of the infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent further infection. Following root canal therapy, a crown may be required to strengthen the tooth and bring it back to its full function.

What is gum disease?
Gum disease is inflammation of the soft tissue around teeth, a common cause of adult tooth loss, potentially linked to heart disease, stroke, and poor glucose control in diabetics.
Causes:
