Need root canal treatment?
When the inside of a tooth is damaged you may need root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves drilling a hole into the tooth to remove the centre, known as dental pulp. This is the connective tissue, nerves and blood supply that reaches the roots.
Once the dental pulp is removed the tooth is filled and sealed. The crown of the tooth may also need to be replaced.
