Sometimes a tooth fractures or gets so badly infected the nerve inside dies, which can lead to pain and swelling. In these cases we have a few options, the last of which is extracting the tooth. We can in a quite a few cases, save the tooth by removing the infected or dying nerve from within the root and filling the canal.
As you may imagine this is quite a delicate and skilful procedure. However you are in good hands as our dentists are very skilled in this and have a high success rate. On the rare occasion that they feel that further expertise is needed they can refer you to a specialist (endodontist).
