Common Questions
What is root canal treatment?
Posted - 15th June 2010
Root canal treatment is a means of saving a tooth that may be damaged by decay, fracture or infection. The purpose of the treatment is to restore the tooth and surrounding tissues to health, relieving both pain and infection, as opposed to total tooth removal.
What is an endodontist?
Posted - 15th June 2010
An endodontist is a specialist dentist who deals specifically with dental pain, infection control and pain diagnosis. As experts in root canal treatment and surgery, endodontists undertake two years of higher training in addition to their five-year dental surgery degree.
Common Myths
Is root canal surgery painful?
Posted - 15th June 2010
No, root canal treatment doesn't cause pain, it relieves it. The perception of root canals being painful began decades ago, when root canal treatment was in its infancy. Today, using the latest technologies and anaesthetics, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.
Can treatment cause illness?
Posted - 15th June 2010
Root canal treatment is a safe and effective procedure. A very small number of dentists and physicians persist in claiming that teeth that have received root canal (endodontic) treatment contribute to the occurrence of illness and disease in the body.
