Root Canal Treatment
When tooth decay is minor, a simple filling will suffice in most cases. However, in more severe cases root canal treatement will be required. When decay, infection or trauma can cause irreversible damage to the nerve or pulp chamber of the tooth, which can cause significant pain or swelling to the local and surrounding tissues of the tooth.

What is a root canal?
Classic signs and symptoms of pulpal inflammation can include discoloration of the tooth, dull-throbbing ache, tender to touch, abscess or swelling of tissues or face. In this instance, treatment options are extraction or Root canal therapy. The aim of Root canal therapy is to save the tooth.
The composite filling requires less tooth preparation due to bonding techniques, and can be used for smaller tooth cavities. This material helps minimise preparation time and can reduce the drill time significantly.
