Root canal treatment is designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged. At Chiswick Park Dental, we use modern techniques to remove the infection, relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
During treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to protect it from further damage. Root canal treatment can help eliminate pain, prevent the spread of infection and restore the function of your tooth.
