Saving Natural Teeth With Root Canal Therapy

At Croydon Dental, our endodontic care focuses on treating infected or damaged teeth with root canal therapy to relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth. Our team provides careful, patient-focused care in a comfortable environment.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth, specifically in the pulp or nerve. In many cases, this treatment can relieve discomfort, address infection, and help save your natural tooth rather than remove it.


A root canal may be recommended when the tooth has been affected by deep decay, dental trauma, or significant irritation. At Croydon Dental, our goal is to preserve natural teeth whenever possible with careful treatment and patient-focused care. Common reasons a root canal may be needed include:

What Happens During a Root Canal?

If an examination and X-rays confirm that you need root canal therapy, our team will explain the process and plan your treatment. The goal is to remove infection, relieve discomfort, and help save your natural tooth.


  1. The area is numbed for comfort: We carefully numb the tooth and surrounding area to help keep you comfortable during treatment.
  2. The infected tissue is removed: A small opening is made in the tooth so the infected or damaged pulp can be removed.
  3. The inside of the tooth is cleaned: The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to help remove bacteria.
  4. The tooth is filled and sealed: The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to help protect the tooth from further infection.
  5. The tooth is restored: Depending on your needs, the tooth may be restored so it can return to proper function.
