Root canal therapy is a common procedure used to treat an infected or inflamed dental pulp. During the treatment, the damaged pulp tissue is removed, and the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection.

The main goal of root canal treatment is to save your natural tooth so it can continue to function properly. Endodontic treatments are often recommended when a tooth has been affected by decay, infection, trauma, or other damage. 

At our dental clinics in Cairns and Townsville your care is provided by senior students from the James Cook University Discipline of Dentistry with supervision from qualified dentists. All appointments and procedures conducted at our clinics are completed by students with supervision from experienced dental professionals. 

We use modern technology and equipment to provide our patients with the best possible treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Endodontic treatment focuses on the inside of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels). The most common type is root canal therapy, which involves removing infected or damaged pulp, thoroughly cleaning the tooth, and sealing it to prevent future infection. This treatment helps save the natural tooth so it can keep functioning normally.

If your case is too complex for our teaching clinic, we will refer you to a specialist endodontist.

The level of pain experienced during root canal therapy varies from patient to patient. Many patients report feeling little to no pain during the procedure.
