What is a Root Canal Treatment?

• Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used
  to treat infection at the centre of a tooth (the
  root canal system).
• It's also known as endodontics
• The infection is caused by bacteria that live in
  the mouth and invade the tooth.

3
Why does it require treatment?

• The treatment of root canals is normally carried
  out when a tooth shows some level of decay or
  infection.
• The procedure is designed to prevent further
  decay or spread of infection that may lead to
  total loss of the tooth.

4
Is the treatment painful?

• Root canal treatment has a bad reputation as
  being an unpleasant treatment for some reason.
• The procedure is only carried out under
  anesthetic and, in the vast majority of cases, is
  no different to having a filling done.

5
Aftercare

• It's important to look after your teeth when
  recovering from root canal treatment.
• Avoid too much sugary food
• Stop Smoking
• Avoid biting on hard foods

Advantages of Root Canal Treatment

• Root canal treatment saves teeth that would
  otherwise have been extracted.
• After root canal treatment, the tooth is
  pulpless - it has no vital tissues within.
• A root-canal-treated tooth can function normally
  and can be maintained with routine dental care
  and oral hygiene measures.
