Details.
Dental treatment for removing infection from inside a tooth and protecting it from future infections. The procedure involves cleaning the root canal under local anaesthesia, filling and sealing the canal, then adding a crown or filling for protection. Treatment takes between one and three sessions, with additional appointments potentially needed for curved canals, multi-canals or large infections. Patients should not chew or bite on the tooth until the crown or filling is complete. The treatment is described as relatively painless, with patients typically feeling pressure and movement rather than pain.
