Relieve Pain and Protect Damaged Teeth
Root canal treatment helps treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. A dental crown might then protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
Signs You Might Need Treatment
- Persistent tooth pain.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold.
- Pain when biting.
- Swelling around a tooth.
- A cracked or damaged tooth.
- Tooth discolouration.
- A recurring gum swelling.
Root Canal Treatment
The dentist removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. The area is then cleaned, shaped, filled and sealed.
Dental Crowns
A crown covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth. Crowns also help restore the tooth’s shape, appearance and function.
What to Expect
Your dentist will assess the tooth and discuss whether root canal treatment, a crown or another treatment offers the best option.
