Root canal treatment in Ealing

Struggling with a painful or damaged tooth? Root canal treatment, also called endodontic therapy, can save your tooth and ease your discomfort, preserving teeth affected by deep decay, disease, or injury.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is a dental treatment used to save a tooth that is badly decayed, infected, or injured, rather than removing it. During the procedure, the infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed and the space is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.

If you are experiencing sensitivity, swelling, or toothache, a consultation with a dentist in Ealing can help determine if root canal treatment is right for you.
