Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is the most effective way to save a severely infected or damaged tooth, eliminating pain, clearing the infection, and sealing the tooth to prevent it from recurring. Carried out under local anaesthetic, the procedure is comfortable and far less daunting than its reputation suggests. In most cases, it can be completed in just one or two appointments.
