Sometimes a tooth can die off and may cause pain, swelling and infection. This can happen for a number of reasons including deep decay, trauma and iatrogenic.

If symptoms are present they may include pain, increased sensitivity, discolouration, gum tenderness or swelling.

At Wish dental we use the most modern techniques with the best materials to give your tooth the best shot at staying put and not needing extraction.

The infected pulp is carefully removed under local anaesthetic and once the root canals have been cleaned, they are shaped and flushed with an anti-bacterial solution. At the next appointment, the root canals are filled and sealed.

The tooth may be further protected with a permanent onlay or a crown to restore its shape and functionality.

Please contact us to discuss or book in for root canal treatment.
