Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental treatment for removing infection from inside a tooth.

Root Canal Therapy

The aim of root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) or root filling is performed to save a badly damaged or infected tooth when the nerve in the middle of it has become infected or is causing pain, instead of removing it. 


A tooth can die for a number of reasons:

  • tooth decay
  • deep filling
  • trauma
  • tooth fracture
  • tooth or gum infection

A root canal enables your tooth to be saved by replacing the irritated nerve tissue in the root of the tooth with a filling.


Root canal therapy is done over a few visits and is a 'painless’ procedure.

Common Symptoms

A full evaluation will be necessary to determine the proper course of treatment, but a few common symptoms point to the need for root canal treatment.

  • Inflammation
  • Pressure
  • Pain and sensitivity
  • Discoloured tooth
  • A small lesion on gum tissue
  • Bitter taste

Help is at hand for your toothache, and if you would like any more information about your root canal treatment, please don’t hesitate to ask us. At Mawson Dental Care our focus is always on your dental care and comfort.

What They Say

Charlotte G.

I've been going to the practice for 15 years - I've needed a fair bit of dental work in that time and the dentists, hygenists and admin staff have all been terrific. The practice has been refurbushed - all very comfortable and welcoming. Unsurprisingly they are booked well in advance for routine dental checks.
