Root Canal Treatment!

Root canal treatment which is normally referred to as a ‘RCT’, it is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of the tooth (the root canals).

This will be spotted on your x-rays at your check-up.

You will be given an anaesthetic to numb the area so the treatment isn’t painful.

* Pain when eating and/or drinking hot and/or cold food.

* Pain when biting or chewing.

* Swelling of the gum around infected tooth.

* Facial swelling.

* Darkening in colour of the tooth.

These are all signs of an infected tooth in need of root canal treatment!
