Root treatments

A root treatment is normally needed when infection and bacteria have reached the inner central part of a tooth.

The procedure involves removal of all infected material from the tooth, sterilising the inner part of the tooth and then filling this central canal.

It is a painless procedure where patients are made numb similar to having a filling. Because of the very precise work involved it takes a lot longer than a normal filling, about 1-2 hrs on average.
