Root Canal Therapy – Save Your Natural Tooth

We have all the experience and equipment necessary for providing high quality and predictable root canal treatments and putting nervous or anxious patients at ease so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands!

At Harris Park Dental, root canal therapy is a safe and effective way to treat an infection or damage deep within a tooth—without an extraction. This treatment removes the infected pulp inside the tooth, thoroughly cleans the area, and seals it to prevent further issues. We then restore the tooth with a crown or filling, returning full strength and function.

Using the latest techniques and a gentle approach, we ensure your root canal experience is as comfortable, efficient, and pain-free as possible.

Health Tips & Info

Root canal therapy at Harris Park Dental helps save damaged or infected teeth, relieving pain and preventing further issues. Our gentle approach ensures a comfortable experience, restoring the tooth’s strength and function with a natural-looking filling or crown.

Why do I need a root canal?

A root canal is needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma. It helps save the tooth and relieve pain or discomfort.

Does the root canal treatment hurt?

No. The procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia, so you’ll be numb and comfortable during treatment. Most patients report minimal discomfort, similar to getting a filling.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp (nerve) inside a tooth. The infected pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown.

Can I eat after a root canal?

You should avoid eating until the numbness wears off, and it’s best to avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth until the restoration is placed.
