Root canal treatment is used to treat infection inside the tooth and prevent the need for extraction. Unlike fillings, which treat outer decay, root canal treatment addresses the inner pulp of the tooth.

The procedure is usually completed over one or two visits and is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth while eliminating infection.

Whether to have this treatment in the UK or abroad depends on your overall treatment plan and should be discussed during consultation.
