PAROLA TREATMENTS
Root canal treatment
Understand treatment for infected or damaged tissue inside a tooth.
Why might it be needed?
Root canal treatment may be considered when the pulp inside a tooth is infected or damaged. Your dentist will assess whether the tooth can be treated and explain alternatives.
What does treatment involve?
The inside of the tooth is cleaned, the root canals are filled and the tooth is sealed. A filling or crown may be needed afterwards. The number of appointments depends on the tooth and the treatment required.
After your appointment
Follow the instructions given by your dentist and attend recommended reviews. Contact the clinic if symptoms persist or you have concerns. Ask about the final restoration and care plan before leaving.
Questions for your dentist
Ask about suitability, alternatives, risks, expected visits, the full cost and aftercare. Your plan is confirmed after an assessment.
