Endodontics treats the inside of the tooth. Root canal treatment can keep a tooth that would otherwise be removed.
Lasting pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of the gum or a darkened tooth can mean the nerve inside the tooth is inflamed or infected.
The infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed. A tooth with root canal treatment often needs a crown afterwards. At Buca Forbes, root canal treatment is carried out by our endodontics specialist.
