What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp—a mix of nerves and blood vessels—from inside your tooth. By cleaning and sealing the canals, the infection is stopped, allowing your tooth to remain functional. Root canal therapy is a procedure that treats infection within the tooth’s root canal system. Our team can explain what the procedure involves at a consultation. It will ease the shocking pain that comes with an infection and save the tooth at the same time.
When Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?
You might need a root canal treatment from our Melbourne clinic if you experience the following:
- Tooth pain or extreme sensitivity that just won’t go away

- Darkness or discolouration of the tooth
