Toothache: root canal or extraction?

If a tooth's nerve is badly inflamed or infected, the two main options are usually to treat the tooth and keep it, or to remove it. Your dentist will examine the tooth, take an x-ray and explain which option suits you.

OptionWhat's involvedGood to know
Root canal treatmentThe inflamed or infected nerve is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealedKeeps your natural tooth. Usually needs more than one visit, and often a crown afterwards to protect it.
ExtractionThe tooth is removedUsually quicker and lower cost upfront, but leaves a gap that may later need an implant, bridge or denture.

Waiting usually makes things worse, so book in as soon as you notice ongoing pain, swelling or sensitivity that lingers. Go to hospital or call 000 if swelling affects your breathing or swallowing.
