A damaged tooth can ultimately lead to infection of the pulp and the nerve chamber, which can cause extraordinary levels of pain and lead to an abscess in the area surrounding the tooth. We perform root canal therapy to treat pulp that has become infected in a person’s tooth. This procedure is crucial to eliminating the infection and protecting the tooth from becoming infected again in the future. During this procedure, the dentist will remove the nerve and pulp from inside the tooth. Local anaesthesia is used prior to the procedure so no pain is felt during the process.
