01 / ABOUT THE TREATMENT

What it involves.

Root canal treatment removes infection from inside a tooth. The inside is cleaned and sealed. A dentist can tell you whether it is appropriate and how the tooth would be restored afterwards.

02 / BEFORE YOU DECIDE

At your consultation.

We’ll ask about your symptoms, examine the tooth and explain the findings. If treatment is recommended, ask about the number of visits and the final filling or crown.

03 / GOOD TO ASK

Common questions.

No. Tooth pain can have different causes, so a dentist needs to examine the tooth before recommending a treatment.

A crown may be recommended in some cases. Ask how your dentist plans to restore and protect the tooth.
