01 / UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
What is Root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned, filled and sealed. A dentist assesses whether the tooth can be retained.
Treatment suitability varies from patient to patient. A clinical examination by a qualified dental professional is required to determine the appropriate treatment.
02 / A CLINICAL DECISION
When is it considered?
A dentist may consider root canal treatment when the tissue inside a tooth is infected. Tooth pain alone cannot determine the treatment you need.
03 / BEFORE YOU DECIDE
What to expect.
Ask about your examination, anaesthetic, appointments, alternatives and costs. Local anaesthetic is usually used. The number of visits varies with the tooth and treatment plan.
04 / STEP BY STEP

05 / FOLLOWING YOUR VISIT
